Jerry Lisenby's "Age is Only a Number Biggest Loser" Bike Tour!
Kents Store sits along Route 76 -- the Trans-America Trail -- a bike trail that starts in Yorktown and ends in Astoria, Oregon.
Every once in awhile, we'll get bikers coming down the road heading towards Monticello who will stop at the store and visit, swap stories, and of course buy something to eat before heading down the road or camping out for the night.
Monday, our visitor was Jerry Lisenby, a gentleman some might recall from the TV show "The Biggest Loser". The Lisenby's needed to stay overnight, so we let them camp out in the yard and fed them breakfast before they went on their way. Heard some great stories about their time in the Peace Corps, Paraguay, and some other great experiences.
Along the way, Jerry and Lynne are promoting the Children's Home of Illinois, a charity back in their hometown of Peoria. Feel free to check out the website -- he tracks everywhere he's been with small notes about where he was -- blog and everything. Great site!
