Bike ride makes top 10 news list

Ed Chasteen's ride to support MS (10,000 miles in 2003; he reported on his efforts regularly in Sun-News of the Northland) made the Sun-News list of the top 10 news stories of the northland for 2003:
Dr. Ed Chasteen, a retired William Jewell College professor, announced in February that he would ride his bicycle 10,000 miles to aid the Multiple Sclerosis Society and HateBusters, a group that combats racial and religious bigotry. If the idea of riding so far sounded like something out of "Man of La Mancha," Chasteen's friends would not have been surprised, as he said he considers Don Quixote his favorite literary character.
