On the Road Again

The Sea to Sea Nicaragua bike tour is HERE!
All the cycling participants from North America have arrived and now are enjoying some R&R time to prepare for the smooth effortless roads ahead of them...or maybe the roads won't be so effortless.

Thirty people - Nicaraguans, North Americans and North Americans living in Nicaragua are heading out to the East Coast to a town call Puerta Cabezas to begin this incredible bicycle tour across the country. We will be travelling from the North East corner down to the South West corner in 9 days. The first day begins on Monday, December 29 and end on Tuesday, January 6 at Gran Pacifica.

The purpose of this trip is to raise money to support the many families and farms that suffered the effects of Huricane Felix. Three organizations have worked to together to make this happen: Accion Medica Christiana, Canadian Food Grains Bank and Christian Reformed World Relief Committee. We do have a website for the tour www.bikenica.wordpress.com where you can find out more info on the purpose and goal, see who is riding and hopefully we will be able to post some updates along the way...so check it out!

Kevin already left this morning to drive out in an ambulance and a box truck with 3 Nicaraguans, so he gets extra opportunity to practice his Spanish! I am leaving tomorrow morning in a pick up truck along with a couple other people who will be a part of the support crew. Yes, that is right, neither Kevin or I are biking. We take the role of support very seriously.

Until next time...
