This morning we were fortunate to meet John McDonald who has ridden his bicycle from Kodiak Alaska and is on his way to Key West Florida.  His family is a friend of Pastor Terry’s and that is how we knew of John’s journey.  John shared some of what he has done on his journey of approximately 5,000 miles.  He sleeps in parks, eats a lot of peanut butter and rides about 8 to 9 hours a day and tries to travel over 100 hundred miles each day.  He’s been on the road since the end of May and left Kodiak just after graduating from high school.  He wants to make it to Key West Florida by September 7th. When asked if he was by himself he mentioned that he was and then corrected himself to say “Oh wait, no I’m not God, is always with me”. He’s had the opportunity to visit lots of church’s.  When asked if he had any issues with safety, he said “um, everyone’s been safe around me.”

John is making a documentary about his journey and wants to be in the film industry so that will be his course of study at school. If you would like to follow John and learn more about his adventures this is his blog. http://www.johnsamericabiketour.com
