The Beers

Alicia and I enjoy many outdoor activities. Alicia has long had a life goal of bicycling across America. It sounded like a great adventure to me. This was an opportune pause in our lives with a recent job loss (May 2009), so with just three weeks of planning and training - we were off.

This trek started May 24th, 2009 from Anacortes, Washington ending 65 days later in Portland, Maine (We had expected 60 days to Bar Harbor, Maine.).

3964 spinning miles!! Biggest day 115 miles. ~~Pete Beer

Day 37. The Donn Olson Farm, Dalbo, MN

Today we raced before the wind yet again. Another fine day of
cycling. It was cool starting off around 53 and feeling cool all
day. We covered 94 miles.

The Olsons are the finest of hosts. They made a room and shower
available to us. Fed us dinner and dessert. Drove me to town in a
fruitless (alas) search for a new tire for Alicia. Toured us around
their amazing patch of heaven (It is a wonderful farm.). Mapped out
route alternatives for us.

And great conversation as well. They have feeders that attract the
most interesting birds. I especially enjoyed the bright yellow finches.
