A retired math teached named Darryl Petrak is going to spend 37 days riding his 250cc Honda Rebel through 19 states, including Alaska, and parts of Canada.

According to the Clovis News Journal...

His research led him to the Rebel Bike Trek, which Petrak will start June 19 from his home in House to Gainesville, Fla., to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, and back to House by July 24.

All told, Petrak will cover 19 states, five Canadian provinces, 13 capitals and 25 national parks (21 in the United States, four in Canada).

To the best of his knowledge, no one has done something like this on a bike under 600cc.

He's doing this to raise money for a couple local chapters of Habitat for Humanity. In fact, for every mile he rides, he's donating a penny (about $150.00). He's already collected donations amounting to $100.00. And he's asking for more.

You can also ride with him.
