From May 18 to the 25th, I will ride 520 miles on my bicycle down the western side of Alabama. I will be alone and will need to carry everything I wear, eat, and need in two small bags on a rear bicycle rack. On this heavy load, I will pedal an average of 80 miles per day with plans of reaching a state-park campsite every night.
"Why is he doing this?" you might ask.
I love bicycles and epic adventures. I also have a dream of using this to help fulfill a need in Tembisa, South Africa. This adventure is not just a test of strength nor a fulfillment of a wild idea of mine, it is method of engaging this world for positive change: a call to go beyond ourselves and the normalcy of personal ambition and gain. To lift each other up!
That's right, I implied it. WORLD PEACE. This bicycle trek is a fundraiser for Good Hope Home Based Care, but it is, by extension, a fundraiser for World Peace.
