Background

Summer 2007 I rode my bicycle from Seattle to Boston a distance of 4200 miles in 63 days. This ride had been a lifelong dream of mine. I came within a few days of doing a self supported XC trip in 2005 with my son Ryan and his friend Jesse but I got sick and could not make the trip. That was a big disappointment to me. Ryan and Jesse got as far as the middle of Montana before deciding to stop riding. Ryan chronicled their ride here: Ryan & Jesse's Ride Since none of my friends were crazy enough to ride the whole distance with me this year and I wanted some company I selected to join a ride planned and catered by Cycle America. I rode the Pacific Coast Coast Ride from Bellingham WA to San Francisco, CA in 2003 with Cycle America and had a great experience. As it turned out my older son Robert and my friend Wallace joined me for week 2 of the trip and Naomi rode week 4 while my younger son Ryan rode with me the final week of the trip.

Edited Full Resolution Photos

I just finished edited my photos from the trip, flipping over the inverted ones, eliminating many of the over,underexposed and out of focus pictures, including some new ones showing the route along with some from Naomi. They can be found at this Flickr web page: Edited Photos . All the photos have been re uploaded in full resolution mode. Please feel free to download any that are of interest to you. This can be done without charge. I still have some more photos to get from Wallace for week 2 and I will upload them soon after I get them.
