Biking To Russia, Two!

Last year I had the opportunity to ride a bicycle from Billings Montana to Kellogg, Idaho.  What a magnificent expedition that was!  All in all we covered 400+ miles in 8 days!  That is a bunch of miles on a 20 year old bike.  Here are some of the pictures of that trip.  With me were my oldest brother, Thomas, brother-in-law, Dave and best friend, Jay Norman.

One of the motives for this trip was to raise cash for our effort in Russia.  We were delighted to raise about $2000.00 for that one week outing.  Coming up in 86 days is our second trip to raise funds for the work we do across Russia.  This time it is in Alaska where we will trek close to 850 miles!  Each evening we sleep outdoors and eat the victuals crammed in our bike gear.  For sure it is an adventure!

The trip looks like this: Anchorage to Whittier, Whittier to Valdez, (by ship) Valdes to Tok, Tok to Delta Junction, Delta Junction back to Anchorage 

Along the way I will have a mug of coffee with pastors (5 are in the plans) and speak on weekends (three churches).  This excursion will last about 14 days. 

I want to let you know now about the trip and give you a chance to once again partner with me as I ride for Russia.  Some of the ways people give are by mile (.25 per mile= $212.50 as an example), per day or just a gift for completion.  Anything is wonderful and will enable Russian pastors and future church leaders to receive training from God’s Word.

More information will be presented in the coming weeks but for today just a glimpse of an incredible journey. Jill is standing by my new ride for this summer: Cycle Genius Long Wheel Falcon.
