The Providence to Seattle Bike and Build team dipped their tires in the Atlantic a few days ago and are headed west. They ride some days and help build houses on other days. They are in Pennsylvania for the next few days. They are scheduled to be in Jackson, WY on July 29th.

You can track their adventures here. You may want to go down and give some encouragement as the ride through your town. Food donations are welcome. I understand these young adults consume a lot of calories every day.

They have posted some photos if you click on the camera on the right.

Check out some of the amazing rider BLOGS. Click on the pencil on the right and then click on List Rider's Personal blogs toward the top.

Here is one of the riders blogs.

One rider had a live helmet cam so you could do a virtual ride along in real time.

My wife and I are close friends with the parents of two of the riders Kristie and Scott Gerhart. Scott is a ski patroller at Belleayre Mountain.
