I am biking across America in order to raise money and awareness for the affordable housing issue. The Central US group and I plan to take off May 21st from Virgina Beach, VA and end up in Canon Beach, OR by July 31st. Along the way we will trade our bikes for hammers and build/repair homes for affordable housing organizations approximately once a week.

Indiana has been fun.  Columbus, IN was an interesting architectural town. Bloomington, IN provided me with delicious pad thai from a tibetan restaurant called Lil Tibet. Dave and I ate at a chain, Roly Poly, in Terre Haute, IN which was delicious! We also had showers at a nice rec center where we could relax in a hot tub and swim - much needed. Yesterday we entered Illinois - my first time entering a new time zone! We ended up in Effingham yesterday and the hosts provided us with great effingHAM and all sorts of goods to eat.

Today we rode into Greenville, IL where I am sitting in a coffee shop across from emma blogging to you. Dave and I finished the ride at noon today so we have had a lot of time to hang out today. My mom sent me a package with clif bars! thanks mom! Tonight I get to tell the church and B&B group a little about B&B history for the first time which will be fun. Tomorrow we are off to St Louis, MO to Build with Habitat!

So you are basically caught up with pictures even though I have more, but I don’t want to overwhelm. Thanks for checkin’ in. Love you mom and dad
