YUMA, Ariz. (AP) - An 81-year-old man has set off on a 2,000-mile bicycle ride around Arizona's perimeter.

Bill Anderson of Yuma plans to complete the trip in 14 to 16 days. He is riding to raise money for Yuma's Crossroads Mission, which provides shelter, meals, showers and clothing to the homeless.

Last year, Anderson rode from the Mexican border to the Canadian line and back again to raise money. In 2004, he made two trips for the mission: one from Canada to Mexico and another from San Diego to Jacksonville Beach, Fla.

Anderson left Yuma on Tuesday in his most recent ride. He planned to arrive in Page on Saturday before continuing the trip to Eagar, Safford and then along the Mexican border.

"It's so awesome. I'm having a blast," Anderson said over the phone on a stopover. "I'm seeing a lot of new country and taking lots of scenic photographs."


Danny worked for Bill years and years ago, and they have remained friends. Bill is a really nice man, and does so much for the community. I worry about this trip with his advanced age and the heat tho.... Please keep him in your thoughts as he completes his ride!

THANKS!!!
