Welcome

Please join us in support to raise funds and awareness of the Chikumbuso Women and Orphans Project and World Bicycle Relief as we bike from coast to coast June-August 2010.

Our goals:

To provide a well for a community soccer field in the compound of Ng’ombe in Zambia currently used by the Chikumbuso Grassroot Soccer Team. Chikumbuso provides free education and meals to 300 orphans as well as empowering widows and single moms through microenterprise projects.

Estimated cost- $10,000

Raise funds to donate 100 bicycles for an entire school through WBR- Bicycle Educational Empowerment Program. WBR has pledged to supply 50,000 bicycles to schools in Zambia. Recognizing the particular vulnerability of female children and the importance of educating girls, 70% of student recipients will be girls.

Cost- $13,500

To create awareness of Hasbro’s http://www.projectzambi.com/ inspired by a visit to the Chikumbuso Project.

Piece of Cake

Twenty-eight miles with light traffic and a flat road seems like nothing after yesterday. No problems until we got to Idaho Falls. Highway 91 was a nice country road, but no-one told us to get off onto 17th street. We were waiting to take a left onto Midway and the next thing we know we’re leaving Idaho Falls. We stop a girl on the sidewalk and ask about Midway. A questioning look appears on her face and she says the only Midway she knows goes into Ammon, which is about 10 miles?? Behind us!!! Call Wayne to the rescue. Short day and even though Wayne picked us up, we rode 35 miles. Finally, we get to Aunt Evelyn’s and tomorrow will be our first day off from riding since we started June 16th.
Keep Them Wheels a Rollin’

    It is great to hear all about what you are doing! Sounds like hard work but like you said lots of good memories. So glad Sabrina was alright after the crash.. so scary, hate those clips!
    We went to the McCann brothers last night and had lots of fun. Saw your niece and Nancy we missed you! They sounded great.
    Keep on pedaling!
