Vision On Wheels

Below is an interesting cross county bike project sponsored by Cedarville University.

About the Project

Vision On Wheels is a cross country bike trip designed to raise support and awareness for Fisheni – an African village in Zambia Africa. The Women of Vision chapter at Cedarville University has committed to supporting the Fisheni Village over the next 10 years. Their work focuses specifically on health, literacy, and water related issues of this AIDS torn village. By touring the US, Vision on Wheels will partner with Women of Vision and Cedarville University in an attempt to help bring support and awareness for the Fisheni Village.

Two riders, Jason Briggs and Derek Stambaugh, are planning on biking from the middle of May to the early weeks of July. Their route will take them from the Pacific to the Atlantic with stops along the way in places like the Grand Canyon, Colorado Springs, St. Louis, Cedarville, and Philadelphia.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 for Fisheni. All money that is donated will go towards the community development work and will be applied by World Vision and the community leaders of Fisheni.

28.9 Miles of Bike Path Fun

Xenia - London Bike Rail

On Saturday Danielle and I drove to London, Ohio to pick up a hutch. The hutch will serve as the baby's changing table & storage. Since we were all the way over in London and since London happens to be the end of the bike trail that runs from Xenia to Cedarville to South Charleston to London, I decided bike home all 28.9 miles. The trail was very nice and enjoyable. I was able to find 3 geocaches on the way home. The whole trip took me over 2 1/2 hours. The trail is mostly flat and parts are open and the wind was a factor to my disadvantage. I'm hoping someday to ride bike trail the 50+ miles from Xenia to Cincinnati. View a map of the trail, I road from the Blue Map Marker to the Green Bicycle in Xenia.

Draining Cedarlake Reveals *Treasures*.

Summer 2007 Cedarlake

Summer '07 at Cedarville University means a summer full of construction. Projects include a new Chuck's dishpit, a new Biblical Studies Building, and Weir Dam Project. The lake has been lowered a few feet which reveled a toilet, bicycle, and skateboard. Who knows what else the lake might reveal. I'll see if i can get more picture of the lake treasures. Rumors include more toilets, orange trees, fridges, engagement rings, textbooks, pet gold fish... Enjoy the pictures.

Baby's Room

This weekend with the help of Alicia and Danielle's mom, they we able to get the baby's room, the hall way and my study painted. Here is a picture of all their hard work.

Commuting to work via Bike Trail

Google Earth View of my Ride to Work

I finally decided to go for it. I rode my bike the 9 miles from Xenia to Cedarville. I averaged about 12 mph for a total cycling time of 45 minutes one way. I only had to get up 5 minutes earlier than normal to arrive by 8 am. I did learn a couple of lessons at the trip. I overload my backpack which made it a tab bit harder to breath. Next time I'll bring my work clothes the day before . Even though the shower was freezing cold and it was only in the low 50s in the morning, I enjoyed my ride to and from work. It was great exercise and I saved about $2.00 in gas. (18 mile round trip / 27 estimated MPG for my Saturn* $3.019 current price for gas in Xenia). This is part of my great plan not to have to drive my car to work accomplished so far by either car pooling or cycling in myself.
