Clinton's Aaron Kammeyer earlier this month biked across Iowa.

In recent years, Kammeyer has immersed himself in the world of physical fitness. He explains his journey to biking involved starting with strong-man sports and injuries sidelining him. He says biking became a better option for him and the local 'Tour DeWitt' bike ride got him motivated.

After completing Tour DeWitt, Kammeyer heard about a bike ride across Iowa and recently participated in that ride. Kammeyer explains the communities along with the route benefit from the economic boom of all the bikers.

Kammeyer says it took him a lot to prepare and called a lot of it 'mental determination'. He indicates he met his goal of getting across Iowa.

Kammeyer says initially he had doubts about if he would want to do that again but once he made it to the finish, he started to have a change of heart and would consider doing it again, especially because he knows what he's in for.

Kammeyer will join Central Illinois Outdoors with Jared White on Sunday morning at 8 am on WHOW and on TheWinner965.com. You can also catch the podcast on Monday at centralillinoisoutdoors.com.
