US BIKE RIDE 2012

It was the summer of 1987 when I, along with my wife, three sons and two family friends bicycled over 4000 miles across the US. Our twin sons were 15 and our youngest son had just turned 12. When our dream for this trip first came to life, we were not a biking family, but we wanted to build a lasting memory for our family. That youngest son and I are now retracing the route we took 25 years ago and hopefully will be building even more memories.
