Date: 6/23/06
Mileage: 75

Funds Raised:

$8,628.87 for Kupenda (+ $100.00 thanks to my Uncle Bernie!!)
$20,000 is the goal for Kupenda. That is the amount needed to build a boarding facility so that 30+ children, who have disabilities, will get to go to school!!! It is a chance to really make a difference in a lot of people's lives!!!
$7,805 for ADA
Battling diabetes is something that is close to our hearts since Adam has Type I Diabetes. AFC's mission at it's core is to raise awareness, show other diabetics that anything is possible, and to do anything to combat diabetes!

Last night at our campsite in Ennis, Montana PhillyK, AndyK, and Adam took some really good pictures at the sunset. Check these out!

After packing up and leaving the campsite we headed to West Yellowstone, Montana! It was another beautiful day with perfectly sunny skies and around 75 degrees. We met some other bikers when we were at lunch. They had strong British accents and they were extremely nice. They were going across country and heading West. They were almost done their journey. We also saw a pair of tandem recumbent bikers just before we entered the town of West Yellowstone.

When we got to West Yellowstone we found a fun sign to take a picture with. I wanted Adam and Jesse in the picture and I had a good idea for a funny pose. I started to climb the sign to show them what I wanted them to do and I ended up getting 3 huge splinters in my thigh :(. It took Jesse and Adam at least 45 minutes to dig them out. I have a slight limp now so tomorrow I might be biking a bit slower than usual. I really really appreciate those guys doing surgery on me... They can do anything!!

(Hello West Yellowstone!!)

(Splinters everywhere when I tried to climb the West Yellowstone sign...
splinters are the opposite of fun)

Tonight we are going to a bar in the city where we have heard there is a dance party going on in the streets!! Ohhh yea!! I love to dance... Too bad I have a limp now. I still try my best to get my dance on. I am sure that PhillyK and AndyK will rock the house with their dance moves. I will try to get a video of them dancing for this blog. They are the best!

Tomorrow we are meeting up with Adam's parents, his brother Alex (aka Baby Suga), and our good friend Lauren. They will be hanging out with us for a week and driving an RV!! It will be soooo fun.
