Happy Father's Day, Big D!
In honor of Father's Day, I thought it would be nice to share some photos of the cross country trip that my father (AKA Big D) completed in 1990. Happy Father's Day, Big D! I love you.
What a great surprise! Thank you, John. I think of you every day. I cannot physically push you, so I've resorted to mentally encouraging you...Consider it a daily push and travel safe!

Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance.
Talent will not; Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; Unrewarded genius is almost legendary;
Education will not; The world is full of educated derelicts.
Perseverance and Determination alone are omnipotent.
I do not identify myself as a cyclist -- not yet at least. But pedaling my bike across America has been a dream of mine since my father completed the feat in 1990. And to be able to do it for charity, and in honor of my beloved aunts who have gone before us -- well, that just makes everything even more special. So this is my blog; my stories of this dream becoming a reality. I am thrilled to be able to share these stories with you.
What a great surprise! Thank you, John. I think of you every day. I cannot physically push you, so I've resorted to mentally encouraging you...Consider it a daily push and travel safe!
