That’s great that you are riding with Jeff. Looks like you are having a lot of fun along the way.
ReplyDeleteHi 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!
ReplyDeleteWith many loud cheers of encouragement, Erik and Joyce
