Two Missouri women complete coast-to-coast ride
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Fri, 03/12/2004 - 4:01pm
Missouri cyclists Barbara Curtis and Pamela Culbertson just completed a 3200-mile, 49-day cycling expedition from Florida to California. According to a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune:
En route they encountered a blizzard in New Mexico with temperatures as low as 18 degrees and suffered from the dehydrating heat of the Yuha Desert in Imperial County. Their goal? To raise $35,000 in pledges for Habitat for Humanity and to finance construction of a Habitat house in Missouri.
