Dick's Final Thoughts

We are home and the experience is now in our memory. My deepest appreciation to Bill Westermann who shared the adventure with me, and to Cassandra Guay who kept the blog and took great care to be sure our every need was met. Also thank you to Scot and Grey who substituted for Cass when she was riding or taking care of things at home.

I wish I could find the right words. The final ride was shared with dearest of friends. Their presence sealed the memory for us.

This adventure was not about two men in their 60s (Okay I am 59) riding their bikes across the country. It was about encouraging people across our nation to live a healthy life and to support those with MS. There is no joy stronger than the one you feel when you live your passion for 42 days all for a cause much bigger than oneself.

Our deepest appreciation to all of you have shared our journey.
