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.

for my day off i slept in, ate at a delicious Indian buffet in Boise, saw a great movie - Inception, and made dinner for the fourth time for 31 people. good recovery day. 

Today we made our way into Ontario, Oregon, home of the invisible thorns. I say this because i got a flat in my rear tire due to these tiny thorns, as did the majority of the riders today. Then Andy pulled a thorn from my front tire allowing me to acquire my second flat within two minutes of each other. everyone waited at the state line today for our last state picture… which is not on my camera. A&W burger, fries, and float was a delicious treat 12 miles from our host site. Off to a new time zone tomorrow!

My sister Anna’s 21st birthday today. I love you!!!!!! :) enjoy your time at the beach mom and dad
