This blog chronicles our ride across North America. We began on June 14th in Anacortes, Washington, and rode roughly 3400 miles to Portland, Maine, with breaks, over 37 days.


My name is Evan (26) and my father is Dave (60). This was his crazy idea.We have chosen to raise funds for an organization called the FHSSA, which has a new website here.


A donation page has been set up for our trip, on the National Hospice Foundation website

You all have helped us raise $2300 so far, so a big thanks.

If you want to know why we chose this fund, see THIS POST HERE.

If you want to be emailed updates, you can use the "Follow" gadget (on the right, below), as I won't be doing the weekly mass emails that some have come to expect from me. On the flipside, I'll avoid updating you on every cornfield we pass.

Five Weeks to Go.

Dave visited in Seattle two weeks ago, and we were able to finish up our shopping for the trip, minus a few power bars and snacks we'll buy the day before. 

We have been lacking in updates, but now that we're distributing our business cards, it's time.

I'll get some pictures of our trainers, and loaded bikes shortly (when I'm not in NYC). And we have a conference call next week with the the director of FHSSA. Our own donation page on their newly renovated website should happen next week. 

Here's a picture from early March, before a 65 mile trip to get smoothies in Idaho. (Also, that's Thorin, our third Springer Spaniel worthy of a Tolkien name. He was put down a few weeks after this picture. He loved jumping high into the air off of docks and resting his chin on everybody's feet.)
