My new favorite bike story

[Geoff]

Yesterday I was riding with a fellow who, three weeks ago, finished a ride from San Francisco to Virginia Beach with a group of Eagle Scouts. It took them about 60 days, but the planning took a year and a half. It wasn’t just choosing roads; they contacted as many scout troops along the way that they could, and got the locals involved. Scouts all across the country rode part of the way with them, and local troops helped out by finding them places to stay and often feeding them at night.

I often tell people they need to do things like this when they are young; if they don’t, then when they are older, they won’t believe they could have.

Here is a link to a newspaper write-up:
