After 1,500 Miles, Chuck Robinson Has to End Biking Trip

Bad news from the Badlands: after riding almost 1,500 miles, Chuck Robinson, co-owner of Village Books, who had been biking from his home in Bellingham, Wash., to Galva, Ill., to attend his 50th high school reunion, has had to stop the planned 2,400-mile ride. Yesterday morning, while riding in Mandan, N.D., he was attacked by several dogs, fell and broke five ribs--and got some nasty abrasions. He and his wife, Dee, are continuing on to their reunions, but both are in the mobile home Dee has been driving.

Our hats (and bike helmets) are off to Chuck, who rode an amazing distance already and raised funds for several charitable groups, including BINC, the Book Industry Foundation. Read all about the trip--and yesterday's unfortunate accident--on his blog.
