Hello family and frineds and just plain blog lookers. Every day brings new adventure, whether just looking at the geography change or stopping at special places along the way. Between riding and visiting with members of the group or exploring with Sandy there just doesn't seem to be enough time to do justice to my blog posts. Several of the members of the group are either more diligent or more talented with their IT capabilities and spend a lot of time writing their blogs. I am providing some links to their blogs so that you can keep up with their pictures as well as ours. For those wanting to see our tons of pictures when we get home just let me know and we will provide plenty of them for you to see. Just click on them below...
1) Cal's blog (with excellent map of where we have been and are going)
2) Miriam's blog (Miriam wanders to all of the out of the way places and tells us what's worth seeing)
3) Jim's blog (Jim operates a Bike Taxi in North Carolina)
4) Bruce and Betty's blog (they are from Florida, our destination)

About Me
- Fred
- Among my many passions: Cycling and helping others. As a cyclist this blog chronicles my dream of riding across these great United States of America. But as a veterinarian, having spent my career helping others, to make this epic ride complete, I am doing it with a purpose; to raise money through your sponsorship to help others.
