Coast to Coast riders come from all over the world. This is a picture of Philippe from Paris, France. He is an attorney who works between the USA and his home country. Philippe is a very strrong rider and has an excellent command of the English language. He is writing a book about some of the history between the USA and France.
Philippe is an extremely strong supporter of the United States and is amazed at how little Americans know about their own history. He is a great conversationalist on long day rides which helps to make the time go faster.
To the right is Tony from the Netherlands. He is an amazing rider and has a special touring bicycle. I have ridden many miles with him and enjoy talking to him. He told me that there thousands of bicylces stolen in the Netherlands every year and his bike has a very special built in lock that imobilizes his bike until he unlocks it.
This is Tony on the high plains of Washington State after a very difficult 2,500 foot climb.
