SeaToSeaWithPete

My log of a trans-continental bicycle tour focused on raising awareness and monies to fight global poverty and break the cycle of poverty, one person, one family, one community at a time. I plan to log my experiences getting ready for, and along the way of the tour. Tour dates: June 30-August 30 2008. Seattle WA to Jersey City NJ..nearly 4,000 miles. Each rider needs to raise $10,000 in donations to fight poverty. To donate...go to www.seatosea.org and click on my name in list of riders.

The beginning of a blog.

Well, here I go....creating and maintaining a blog is new to me!

I have been involved with getting ready for the SeaToSea tour since the Summer of 2007. When I received a postcard announcing the tour, I knew I had to check it out further. I checked out the early web site information and Julie and I obtained our home church's, Haven Christian Reformed, sponsorship approval in August. We applied and I was accepted as a full tour, coast to coast, cyclist and Julie as a volunteer for the tour as a SAG (support and gear) vehicle driver. Since then, I also gratefully received the sponsorship of South Olive CRC as well. As a sponsoring church, that congregation promises to pray for the cyclists and tour, encourage them, and support their fund raising efforts with scheduled offerings.
