Tomorrow is June 9, 2010. It is Hilary's 18th birthday, so I probably will not have the time, or want to take the time, to write a blog. Twenty-six years ago, on June 9, 1984, I began my solo cross-country bicycle tour in Newport, Oregon. What an adventure! 3,600 miles and 48 days later, I made it to Plymouth, Massachusetts. One month later I would be back in New England for my first teaching job in Barrington, Rhode Island. There, I would soon meet Sandy! Within two years we were married. Then, 18 years ago, on June 9, 1992, our wonderful daughter Hilary was born in Kijabe, Kenya. Now, she is getting ready to graduate from high school this weekend....time flies. A few days later, Zach and I will be (Lord willing) heading to Seattle to meet the rest of our Venture Expeditions teammates and prepare to cross the country together on our bicycles. We will carry a message of despair and a message of hope, for the millions in this world who do NOT have the freedom to ride a bicycle wherever they want. If you gave financially for this "adventure," we thank you. Thanks for reading along as we ride along. God bless you.
Tim
