Pedal for Prisoners Photos

On July 28th we finished our 471 mile journey from Sioux Center to Clinton, Iowa.  It was a challenging week to say the least.  We battled hills, headwinds, HEAT and even a few flat tires.  Pedal for Prisoners is a fundraising effort for New Life Prison Community.  We ride RAGBRAI (Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa) in order to support the Gospel ministry to prisoners in Newton.  Here are a few pictures from our epic bike ride.

One morning I devoured a burger for breakfast!

We became experts at fixing flats
