People have been finding creative ways to donate

It is amazing! Thanks to all who have gone to our website and donated. Here are some of the creative pledges people have made:

3200 miles times..... 1 cent,10 cents, up to $1.50!

So much per state - there are 8 of them. (Peter was also offered money to cycle around Texas by a Texas hater)

So much per week - there are seven of them.

Carl has been offered a dollar for every bad joke by Peter that he tolerates.
(That will be expensive)

WHAT other crazy donation ideas are out there? We're up for anything (well maybe NOT anything!)

Carl, Larry, Peter & Liz planning Cross Country Ride

Hi All! Welcome to our Blogsite, which will chronicle our bicycle ride across the country to support Fill This House, a local Cleveland charity we will post about later.

Who are we? Carl & Liz Tippit, Larry Schulz, Peter Conway, and perhaps YOU, as a guest rider (see below)

Right now we are planning our route. We will be riding the "Southern Tier" Route developed by Adventure Cycling Association. Starting in San Diego On Monday October 4, 2010, we will arrive seven weeks later in Jacksonville Florida. Along the way we will traverse California Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.

How long is the Southern Tier ride? About 3100 miles, or 450 miles per week.

We would not/could not do this without the support of Liz Tippit, who will be driving "Vanna White", our Roadtrek RV and supporting us with comfort, aid, and inspirational speeches as needed.

Want to join us? We are looking for a "guest rider" every week. We are currently breaking down the ride into seven six day stages starting on a Monday and ending on a Saturday. Guests can join us on our Sunday "days of rest" and ride with us the following week.

Stay tuned for more information as we plan the ride and then embark!
