If I can figure out where he is and if I can gt out there, I'll go ride with him. I'm in NE Connecticut, and I don't have the ability to ride long distances myself due to bad gear (big old too heavy bike) and previous injury (spinal fusion) that effectively left me with one functional leg and no muscle in the other leg that just comes along for the ride. If he can try to ride across America, then I can try for a century someday- hopefully next year.
