Follow Ryan and Davin as they bicycle around the world!

This is Ryan Delamater. As of today, he is about one week into an 18-month long trip around the world by bicycle, with his friend Davin Anderson. Ryan stopped into our Peninsula store the day before starting his trip to stock up on some last-minute essentials.

Here are Davin and Ryan in Hudson, just before leaving and taking the first pedal strokes of their trip on Sept. 1, 2010. They are riding as one of several projects as part of the group known as Give Clean Water, whose aim is to raise money and awareness for clean drinking water in the country of Fiji.

You can check out the group's web site at http://www.givecleanwater.org/ and follow Ryan and Davin's trip at http://ryandelamater.blogspot.com/. You can also follow them on Facebook; search for "Ride4Water." Good luck, guys!
