Bike: Kent was beautiful this morning, cool and calm. The mist and clouds were lifting from the storm the day before. We left CT as we rode over a covered bridge in the middle of the woods. NY wasn't too welcoming with HUGE hills. The day was short though and it was nice to arrive, shower, and have time to relax. We are doing a bike clinic tonight which should be fun, because it's for kids. There isn't much to do to their bikes but it will be cool to hand out with them. Everyone has been so generous so far, especially with food. We are saving a lot of money which in turn goes to the house. The church we are staying at is pretty big, they actually have separate services for 7 nationalities. The bike clinic went really well today. A bunch of the neighborhood kids came and we lubed their bikes, adjusted their seats, and patched their tires. It was cool seeing them ride off all fixed up. I am not sure what else people want me to write on here. Either comment or E-mail me if you have any questions I can answer about the trip or affordable housing. I would love to hear from people who are reading the blog.
Build: This summer the 200,000 house will be built by Habitat for Humanity world wide, thats amazing considering they were formed in 1975!
Ride on!
