The group stayed overnight Monday in Greene County in the middle of its 24-day trip from Iowa City to Washington, D. C. The trip began July 27. The bicyclists are marking the 20th anniversary of its cross-country trip from Long Beach, Calif. Willert, a high school algebra teacher who resides in Kensett, Iowa, said a few bikers spent part of Tuesday visiting Fallingwater in Fayette County, and they’ve hit many other popular tourist attractions along the way. When they arrive in Washington, D. C. , there will be a small celebration to commemorate their trip before the group breaks apart to find its way home. Then they’ll be back on their way home with some of the bikers flying, while Willert plans to toss her truck in the back of a pickup truck and join a caravan of cars heading back as she prepares to teach the first day of school Aug.
