These two brothers, Lance and Les, will be riding their bicycles across the United States of America! It has been on their bucket list for years and it is finally going to happen. Les' dad, Bill, affectionately known as Pops, will be driving the support vehicle. The route looks something like this:
They will leave Southern California on Saturday, September 30th and plan to be in Savannah, Georgia by Saturday, October 28th. The two most common questions I have received:
1. Are They Crazy??
Well, yes, a little. Or maybe a lot. However, this goal is not out of reach. Les and Lance are both strong riders. They will not be racing. Pops will have water, fuel and tools in the van if (when) somethings goes wrong. All three of them are very intelligent (it's actually kinda scary how smart they are) and they have spent months planning, researching, thinking, and planning some more.
2. Are You Going With Them?
No. Originally they had considered renting an RV and Les told me I was welcome to go along for part of the trip. My response, "I'm not living in a rolling locker room for a month!" This is a boys' only trip. I am happy that they are doing this but I am happy to stay home. I've got a to-do list that is growing and I hope to actually get it all done. I will be flying to Atlanta during the final week to meet up with them and be in Savannah for the grand finale!
I'll be posting updates here from my perspective from time to time, but if you're interested they plan to blog daily at their own blog ~ McBRAAM. Let the good times roll!
