By Marian Green Of tty Emontd No one said it would be easy, but as he pedaled the last leg of his 300-plus * Seattle-to-Eugene bicycle ride, 53-year-old Eugene Smith made it look simple “Nothing to it,” Smith said, breathing heavily just minutes after dismounting from his bike onto the red carpet at Valley River Inn Having barely caught his breath, Smith peeled off layers of clothing and talked to nearly 50 people who had anxiously awaited his arrival Smith made the 24-hour, non-stop journey to raise money to help curb world hunger His ride was sponsored by World Runners, an international organization of athletes working since 1978 to end the hunger crisis But ride pledges received by early afternoon Sunday were only $77, much less than expected Smith said he would have arrived three hours earlier if Washington State Police hadn't pulled him over five times and made him detour 30 miles on back country roads He also took a spill near Harrisburg, separating his clavicle, a bone near the shoulder blade "Other than that, everything went all right," he said Smith clipped along at a pace of about 19 miles per hour, a speed he said he "never thought I’d be able to maintain " What got him through the long haul down Interstate 5? "I didn’t dare stop," he said "I just knew I was going to get here, and when I saw the Eugene exit, I thought it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.” But for 14 hours, Smith couldn't see much of anything The stretch of I-5 was lit only by a full moon Before the trip. Smith said he feared the nighttime would be cold, lonely and eerie But in retrospect, Smith said darkness wasn't too frightening "Sometimes it was eerie, other times it was spiritual,” he said Riding at night has a strange motion Sometimes, it almost felt like you weren't doing it," Smith said After Smith praised his four-man road crew and kissed his wife Elaine, a four-legged greeter sauntered up to congratulate him From now on, the greeter, a 5-year-old Wildlife Safari cheetah named Kayham, will be the official mascot of World Runners Her trainer. Laurie Marker, said Khayam is a natural for the title "What better mascot than the fastest land mammal — the cheetah.' she said noting that Khayam has been clocked at 78 miles per hour "I'm impressed I really wasn't sure he could make it.” said Mark Jackson, owner of the Pedal Power bicycle shop, which provided a trip mechanic and arranged for the donation of the r Photo by Mark Pynas Eugene Smith was stopped five times by Wash ington State Police during his trek to raise money to curb world hunger. 15-speed Bridgestone bicycle Smith used on the ride Saturday night, Jackson said he had nightmares and couldn't sleep worrying about Smith, who has ridden a bike only a few short months A long-time runner, Smith switched to bicycles in September while recuperating from an ankle injury Emily Whitlock, who also celebrated a birthday — her 55th — Saturday, rode her bicycle out to Valley River Inn to meet Smith, because she thought the trip was neat "He's got to be in awfully good shape to do that," she said Pledgers still can support World Runners by phoning 683-6453 Who St. Valentine was... According to one legend, St Valentine was a Roman priest with a special feeling for young people. When the Roman Empire needed sol diers, Emperor Claudius 11 decreed no one could marry or become engaged. Claudius believed marriage made men want to stay home instead of fighting wars. Valentine defied the decree and married the couples. He was arrested and put to death. The legend goes on to say that while in jail he made friends with the jailer’s daughter, and by miracle he restored her sight. The morn ing of his execution, he sent her a message signed, “From vour Valentine.” Valentine was beheaded and near his grave a tree burst into pink blossoms — a symbol of lasting love.* *Plxcerpt from 'Hearts, Cupids and Red Roses’ By Edna Barth Clarion Books Available in The Book Department.
