He made it!

July 26th, 2007

Well I am happy to say that my son Dan has safely completed his cross country bike trip with Bike and Build-raising money and helping to build houses for low income families along the way. He was capping off his journey by cooking on the beach in Canon Beach, OR for 60 or so. Ah, the amazing energy of youth.

His grandmother (Mom to me) flew up to Portland a couple of days ago and met the gang and treated them to root beer floats. This was after a century ride (100 miles over mountains) so that went over, I mean down, really well. Congratulations Dan on a fantastic journey. We love you!
