Native Missourian rides cross-country
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Wed, 08/04/2004 - 6:00pm
Missouri native Don Loomis is riding cross country as part of the National Mayor's Ride. The Delphos Herald reports:
He’s . . . seen many beautiful landmarks along the way.
“The most breathtaking thing I have seen was in Utah,” he said. “I had ridden almost 130 miles in one stretch and I was heading into Salt Lake City. The sunset was just beautiful. The rays were peeking through clouds and lighting up the grass and then right after it went down, I got to see a lightning storm.”
Loomis departed San Francisco on June 10 and arrived in Chicago on July 30.
