Mileage: 76
Funds Raised:
$11,834.62 for Kupenda
$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!!!
$8,770.00 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!
Adam and I got a great nights sleep last night under the stars. Weezal, Jesse, and Jason Cusick slept in Jason's tent. PhillyK and AndyK slept in someone's shed :). We all met up in the morning for breakfast and to get started biking!
Jesse has been pretty sick the last two days and he looked bad this morning. Hopefully he will get better soon and we are hoping it is only alergies.
RAGBRAI stops in Waukee, IA today but we are biking 10 miles west of that to spend the night at our friend, Tom Keller's, house! Tom is also riding RAGBRAI! So we will be going a bit extra today but that will make tomorrow's RAGBRAI route that much shorter.
It was a beautiful day of biking. The clouds were out so it did not get too hot and we met tons of people along our way. At lunch we met with Kamla (the girl we stayed with when we were in Crescent, IA) and her friends on Team Lynn. Team Lynn has a bus that the drive as their support vehicle. Their bus driver, Lynn, wanted to bike the 2nd half of the day so AndyK offered to drive the buss from lunch to Waukee for them! What a nice guy :) Since AndyK can do anything driving a bus was a simple task!
(Getting ready to ride!)
(Driving Team Lynn Bus)We all ate dinner with Tom and his family!! Yay for some home cooking!! And we are super happy because it is raining a ton tonight but we are safe and dry in Tom Keller's beautiful house!! Yay Tom Keller!

Dallas did a great job with the article. I've been trying to get intouch with one of you. I've been trying to log on to the Kupenda donation page, several times today, and it keeps sending out an error message. I don't know if this something you guys have any control of, but no one can contribute until it is fixed. The ADA site works fine. Love you guys, Stay safe, Mom and "P" from Hughesville
Andy K looks freaking fit (especially in the legs)! Imma have to race him sometime soon.
