Watch the video below for some big news about how I’m spending my summer vacation!

Or, if you’re lazy and don’t watch videos…
3100 miles + 2 months in the Summer + Bike + Raising $$ for Water in Africa = Me on the Ride:Well 2010 Tour.

Congratulations. So awesome, Anne!
Can’t wait to follow you across the country (from the comfort of my home and office ;).
Congrats on your decision to ride. You’ll do fine!
Start riding slow … one mile at a time.
I’m going to check out the website, would love to do it also, but don’t know if real life will allow me to.

Real life is overrated. :)

I am TERRIFIED of motorcycles!
Intense….
I am tempted to say you are more of a man then I am, but that just makes it awkward (I guess I said it anyways)
But glad to hear that you are not just sitting on your butt and doing nothing but sitting on a bike and doing something.

Blogging when I’m not biking. Goodness knows there is going to be a story or two going down. Is it illegal to bike & tweet in Cali? :)
Woo hoo! I love the Ride:Well tour. Bikes and clean water is so speaking my language.

Yay! I am soooo excited for you! I’ve been praying about applying for this summer’s tour :) I want to go!!!!
Start thinking now about the stop in Tyler, TX. I promise you’ll rest comfortably on your very own air mattress. If you’re lucky you’ll get the bed with the matching pink comforter and sheets! We’ll try our best to make this stop the most comfortable on the entire tour. Tyler loves the RideWell cyclists. We’ve hosted the last two tours in our high school gym. We look forward to seeing the 2010 team ride into town!
Hopefully I’ll be joining you.

Can’t wait to follow you from the air-conditioned comfort of my living room. :-)
And seriously – I’m so proud of you. Your courage really does inspire me.

Anne,
Just curious – is this the same ride that Don Miller talks about in his newest book, “A Million Miles” …? (if you’ve read it?)
Fred McKinnon´s last blog ..The Sabbath – Do We Keep It?
Yep. A little different route, but same org, same thing.

Gotcha .. cool, and congrats. I’ve still got 100+ unread in GoogleReader, so I guess I would’ve gotten to that post, haha! Wait – August 2009, nope … that one would’ve been killed in one of my RSS Bankruptcy fits.
Congrats again!
PS: going to re:create 2010?
Fred McKinnon´s last blog ..The Sabbath – Do We Keep It?
maybe? i am speaking the weekend before & driving home, so chances are i’ll be a hermit.
Congratulations, Anne! I’m glad you decided to go for it! It is definitely a worth while experience and one you wont soon forget. It’s about as real as “real life” gets, heh. If I could give you any heads up, let it be this. Get a good saddle!
the man who jacked with my head….this is ALL your fault!!! :)

Sounds cool! Wanted to do something like this before I turned 50. Didn’t make it. Sounds to me though as though anne Jackson may find herself in a gym this winter or riding when it is cold? :) Wish I could go.

Count me “in.” We’ll (Lisa & I) help you get from CA to SC & raise some of that $.
Congrats Anne. What an exciting adventure!
Kyle Chowning´s last blog ..They’re Doing it Right
Way excited for you Anne!
I made the mistake of reading A Million Miles while I was flying to Chicago for Story 09. Not only did I read the book but then I heard Donald Miller speak at the conference. The conviction/confusion/desperate hope about my life is something I’m still sorting through.
I want a better story for my own life. I printed out the Ride:Well info and put it on my prayer board. I can’t imagine a worse idea than me cycling across the country, but there’s something inside that is pushing me to live a better story. I’m going to pray about going.
I don’t have a bike, the money or a way to get 2 months off work, but I’m going to ask God if this is Him. If it is, I’ll see you in San Diego!
I’ll be praying for you, Anne. So glad we got to talk for a few minutes in Chicago. Be blessed, in Jesus’ name.

I road bike from time to time. But 3100 miles is a long way! The farthest I’ve gone in a day is 130 miles. Have a blast out there! I would love to do this some year. I’m pretty sure I could do it… just not at this point in my life.
Can’t wait to hear about this adventure next summer!

dude, that’s scary. thanks for reminding us to face fears.

It sounds like another great part of you “living a better story.” As Donald Miller suggests. I’m looking forward to partnering with you financially when you do your ride. That’s a killer organization… and it’s amazing what a difference the work they do makes in the lives of the people they help. You ROCK!

Please consider riding for Waters Edge Ministries. We do water purification in Africa and for half the money of digging a well we can empower rather than provide clean water to twice as many people!
