Jumping Jehoshaphat!

During last weekend’s trip, we had church in a hayloft. I enjoy the occasional church service in a non-traditional space. It reminds us that the important part of “church” is the people – churches are just buildings. If our church burns down tomorrow, it doesn’t impact the real church – the church (people) would simply […]

Southern Indiana Trip

To end Fall Break, we took a trip to my parents place near Bedford, IN. This was a trip to get away for a weekend, have fun, and deepen our relationships with each other and God. The pictures below highlight some of our activities. We went to Blue Springs Caverns and took an hour long […]

Accountable

As Christians and friends, we are called to hold each other accountable. I’ve always had a positive view of accountability, but I’ve realized that many have a negative association with this word. I view accountability as helping someone achieve a goal they have set for themselves. That’s a positive thing! A month or so ago […]

This & That

Rather than our typical routine of covering one topic in-depth, we briefly discussed a list of topics last night. But, before that, we started with three pans of breadsticks followed by ice cream! Topics covered last night included: Remembering 9/11 – Jen and I shared our memories from that day and the following days and […]

A Pedaling Rev & Kev – Final Summary

I apologize for my delay in getting this post out. I’ve struggled with this post because there isn’t a way to provide a “final” summary yet because the true value of this trip will take awhile to sink in. However, I will provide some of my thoughts after just a few days off the bike. […]

A Pedaling Rev & Kev – Day 25

WE MADE IT! After 110 miles today and 1,925 total miles, we reached the Canadian border this afternoon around 3:30. The weather really turned in our favor today – a strong tailwind, cooler temps, and overcast. So we were able to complete the rest of the journey rather than having to stop short and wait […]

A Pedaling Rev & Kev – Day 24

Another hot day around 100 degrees. We rode 77 miles to Audubon Lake north of Coleharbor, ND. We have about 110 – 115 miles left to the border. Rather than end with a long day in the heat, we plan to ride around 80 miles tomorrow, then finish with a 30-35 mile ride on Wednesday. […]

A Pedaling Rev & Kev – Day 23

The high temperature today was 100 degrees so we got our miles in earlier and were done before 2:00. We rode 85 miles to Menoken, ND. I didn’t take too many pictures today – it looked like northern Indiana so I didn’t think to grab the camera all that often. It was relatively flat all […]

A Pedaling Rev & Kev – Day 22

Shortly after posting yesterday’s update, we realized the motor stopped working on the trailer slide out. So we spend the rest of our “rest day” working on it! The override switch to allow you to manually crank it in didn’t work so we had to remove the motor – now we can slide it in […]

A Pedaling Rev & Kev – Day 21

We took a “rest day” today, riding our bikes 55 miles into Pierre, SD. It was an easy ride with a nice tailwind so we were off the bikes around 11:00 am and could relax the rest of the day. Here’s some additional photos and a video from the past week or so that I […]

A Pedaling Rev & Kev – Day 20

OK – let’s start with yesterday since I didn’t have time to post much last night. As stated yesterday, it was the hardest day on a bike either of us has ever had. We had a 15 mph sustained headwind (with higher gusts all day) and very steep hills to climb for 102 miles. It […]
