My biking resumé

I have been riding a bicycle since I was a kid.  I learned how to ride on a neighbor's Stingray.  When I got a paper route in 4th grade, I rode my brother's bikes to deliver papers.  I finally bought my own bike when I was in high school, a Sears Free Spirit 10 speed.  Many years and several bikes later I am still riding.

Fast forward to present day.  I have done many biking excursions. RAGBRAI five times, a bike ride to Phoenix with my buddy, Keith, a bike ride to Kansas with Bekkey, more MS 150s than I can remember (both in Colorado and Pennsylvania), MCC Bike Oregon twice.







Bekkey and I try to do at least one if not more biking vacations a year; sometimes mountain bikes, sometimes road bikes and sometimes mountain bikes on the road.

Sometimes I even bike with my friends.

 

This ride across America will be an epic journey. Let's see how it turns out!

I like to ride my bicycle!

Call it a mid-life crisis, a check off the bucket list, a retirement gift, a stupid human trick or maybe even a Forrest Gump wannabe.  Whatever you call it, I am riding my bicycle across the United States this summer following the TransAmerica Trail.  Starting in Astoria, OR and finishing in Yorktown, VA, I am planning to take two months to complete this road trip.







Accompanying me on this trip are several family members and friends each taking turns driving the "Cousin Eddie Mobile".












Stay tuned throughout the summer to get updates of my progress and any adventures or misadventures I encounter.
