Try biking cross-country. Helen and Al Steussy, a mother-daughter team, are on day nine of 50 in their 3,630-mile journey from Oregon to New Hampshire. They’re doing it all in the name of land conservation. The Steussys aim to raise $20,000 to stop current trends of city sprawl. Each day, 5,000 acres of land are developed in the U.S. That’s a lot of land that could be an eco-friendly nature preserve, but instead becomes a parking lot, an office park, high-rise condos, a Target, or some other big box store. Money raised will be donated to Red-tail Conservancy, the Land Trust Alliance, and local land trusts the Steussys find along the way. Track their progress and donate on their website. via Planet Green Post...

He competed in the Pacific View League Championships and is thinking of joining the track team, too. Guess we’ll have to keep at that treadmill to catch up!
