Mark Schultz is a platinum-selling and Dove Award-winning Christian musician. Right now, he is undertaking a bicycle tour across America — part of it on Route 66 — to raise money for the James Fund to help orphans and widows.
The Gallup (N.M.) Independent caught up with him over the weekend. Apparently the bicycle trip hasn’t been just a Sunday ride:
Not only did he just bike from Holbrook, Ariz., and have to cope with six flat tires in 50 miles, he performed in concert that night before a packed house in Gallup and then got up the next morning and hit the highway again for a bike ride to Grants, N.M.
Schultz has a blog to document his experiences, along with videos. Here is a photo gallery.
Here’s a promotional video about Schultz’s ride:
If he’s in your area, you can ride along with Schultz as long as you read this first.
According to his schedule, Schultz has a show in Las Vegas, N.M., on Thursday and will be riding through Tucumcari on Friday. After that, he veers away from Route 66, but does perform in the Mother Road town of Joplin, Mo., on June 1 and rides through Springfield, Ill., on June 14.
