| Introduction | One of my first memories is of riding around in the back seat of my mom's bike, contentedly eating Necco wafers while she huffed it up the hills around Cape Cod. If only it were still that easy... At 6, I got my first bicycle, a hot pink number with a banana seat. It was called "Pink Lightning," and I used to get mad whenever my brother Pete pedaled past me. In 2002, Pete and I biked across Iowa with RAGBRAI. It was our first multi-day trip, a kind of "Mardi Gras on wheels" as our self-appointed mentor told us. Then in the fall of 2005 we biked from Anchorage into Baja California with our brother Jack. While that trip provided some invaluable sibling bonding moments, it also spawned the idea for a future solo biking tour. And that's where I am today... |
