During my bicycle trip in 2015 along the Pacific Coast Highway I met Jeff Eggleston  Jeff lives in  New Carlisle Ohio and got his brother to drive him to Chicago so we could ride together to Buffalo, New York.

  2. Hi Bob, this is Erik and Joyce from Philadelphia. We met you during our month in Tucson this past February and enjoyed several rides with you there. We have been following your blog with amazement and some envy as well. What an incredible journey. We are cheering you on to the end! And the invitation always stands to come see us in Philadelphia anytime. We look forward to riding with you again in Tucson next year; we will be there for 3 months this time: January through March. So, best of luck on the rest of your journey. Pedal on!
    With many loud cheers of encouragement, Erik and Joyce
