I met this cyclist at the event at the Ohio Veterans Memorial Park, where I am the "official unofficial photographer". He is riding from Akron Ohio to Washing DC to make a donation to Wounded Warrior Foundation. I am in the process of trying to get the day off work to photograph his send off. It would be great if he could have an escort of fellow riders for at least some of the start. Here is his facebook page with more info.
