Cycle America has a staff of a dozen folks who help us each day. These volunteers are cooks, routers, mechanics, and the like who make sure we are pointed safely in the right direction each day, have a delicious lunch for us just after the halfway points in each day's ride, and when the riding is simply too much for some, lift the bikes to the roof of the van for a ride into camp. The volunteers get up early and stay up late to make sure we have water available every so many miles.
So far, while we have walked a couple miles to rest our weary legs at times, Sandy and I have not ridden in the van for support purposes. Our goal is to ride every single foot of our 4,250 mile trip.
