Day 46, Grover Hill to Gibsonburg, Ohio



Ride distance: 86 miles; ride time: 4:28; cumulative distance: 2,982 miles; average speed: 19.2 mph; calories: 61246; ascent:866 feet; descent: 916 feet. Dick, who runs the YFC wilderness camp showed us around the camp. It’s amazing to see how God has worked to get the facilities together. Dick said that he started with nothing and God provided everything at the camp – an excellent place for young people to have a wilderness experience and find out about Jesus. At one of the host homes, Arek was fast asleep as breakfast was ready to be served. When they went to rouse him, he asked as only Arek could ask: “why do you seek the living among the dead?” (He’s not what you call a morning person). We had another good ride today. We had lunch at a state park about 30 miles from our destination. .We arrived in Gibsonburg around 4 p.m. at the Trinity United Methodist Church. They put on a delicious lasagna dinner for us. Afterwards, we put on a presentation about Youth for Christ and the ride we’re taking. Five of us are staying at the home of Rick and Casey Smith.
