Landon Bikes Across California

Last Monday Landon headed out for his Priest/Teacher High Adventure Activity
They loaded up their bikes and gear and headed for the Nevada border where they would begin their bike trek across California.

the whole group

Here they are at Carson Pass -the highest point of the trip - they climbed 4,000 feet

Here they are at the end of day one - after riding 31 miles - mostly uphill.


This is Fiddletown - Landon says there's nothing there and he won't be going back :)


Wednesday they rode 81 miles in 1 day!  It was the toughest day - the reward was they got to stay at a home with a great pool on Wed night - everyone went swimming - I don't know how they had a drop of energy left.

Crossing the Delta by Ferry

Somehow they still managed to squeeze in a game of  ultimate frisbee on Thursday.
Posing for their pictures for the local paper.

Here they are - victorious - as they dip their feet into the Pacific Ocean at Bodega Bay after cycling nearly 300 miles - AMAZING!  Way to go Landon - We're proud of you!
