Team Members: Bob Yardy

Bob Yardy is our team leader.  Previously, Bob organized and led the 2000-mile Bicycle India 2007 effort in support of rebuilding Umri Christian Hospital (where he was born and where his father was practiced medicine). Bob is a physical therapist with the Carle Clinic of the University of Illinois medical system. He lives in Mahomet, Illinois.

Bob is an avid cyclist, embarking several cross-country cycling excursions annually. He's also an excellent bike mechanic. He and Kevin Williams should be able to handle all our bicycle mechanical issues.  Like team member Bob Burtch, Bob Yardy is an ornithologist.  The two Bobs will keep us informed about what we're seeing and hearing in the sky and trees along the way.

Bob is married to Donna; they have three adult children and several grandchildren.
