Well today my friend Wayne headed out on his BMW for his Coast to Coast the Hard Way ride and fundraiser for Polio. I will post updates here as his journey progresses. He left spikes today about 1 and hopes to be to Prudhoe Bay by Friday where he can then start his journey to Key West. I really believe he will end up raising at least $100,000 and that is because right now every dollar donated is worth $6. The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is donating 2 dollars for every one raised and then other matching funds brings it to the six dollar mark. Pretty darn good, I will post pictures I took down at Spikes today before he left. This is the summer for the Alaska trips as my friend Gordon has been gone four weeks today and I just talked to him a few minutes ago as he is in Jasper British Columbia on his back. He still expects to be gone another 2 weeks before he gets back to Manistee. He said he is closing in on the eight thousand mile mark now and that the other day he paid eight dollars a gallon on the alkan highway for fuel…..Not good when you are only ten miles to the gallon. He said that expensive fuel didn’t burn an better either. Here is a link to the facebook page for Waynes ride https://www.facebook.com/coasttocoastthehardway Thanks for checking in. Pete
