A 2 day adventure with Jerry as he bikepacked across MIssouri in September 2021 for charity.  Lizzy's Walk of Faith Foundation raises money each year, and since we know the family that founded this non-profit, it is a great opportunity to raise money for a good cause.  Jerry has always had a heart for raising money for good causes when he can combine it with cycling, so this was a perfect chance to combine both.  With a facebook campaign he set off riding from the Kansas border at Stateline road all the way to Hannibal, MO and the Mississippi River.

One of the oldest and largest cycling events in the nation is the Hotter'n Hell Hundred down in Wichita Falls, TX.  Jerry tood a ride on the great adventure earlier in the year and we wanted to do a podcast about his time there.  As well we wanted to talk a little about the concept of Randonneuring and his goals/adventurers in this type of bikepacking/cycle touring.
