Well he did it! Jonas successfully finished the 204 mile Seattle to Portland bicycle ride. He has been training for this over the last year or so, every week he would ride at least 100 miles. Then the last 3 weeks he rode 500 miles in preparation for the ride. He left last Thursday evening and stayed in Seattle with his sister Aimee ( hi Aimee) and then got up Saturday morning early and started out with his best friend Wes Perez and 4 other guy friends. On the first day they went 130 miles. Stooped and stayed the night and then did the remaining 75 miles on Sunday. They were done by early afternoon and crashed in bed for the rest of the day and night. He is pretty Amazing, you can say it. I have to say he got a lot of weird looks from people there, questioning looks. But he sure did prove them wrong. There were 9,000 riders that day, Jonas among them. I am so proud of him! I love you Jonas!
