Sponsors

Sponsors are "On Board." The 33.5'ft. Sport Utility RV will now be adorned with the encouragement of Stairmaster, Heart Zones, and Power Properties.

During the past year, Bobby and I have had the pleasure of working with StairMaster as Master Trainers for the LeMond RevMaster, (the best indoor cycle bike in the world!) All the folks at StairMaster have been super. Their support of our trip is really appreciated and we will proudly spread the word about the benefits of the LeMond RevMaster program.

Heart Zones - Wow! Imagine Sally Edwards, 16-time Ironman Competitor and Ultra Endurance Athlete, says"we need to support "WeCycle America." Yes, Sally Edwards, Kathy Kent, and Sally Reed of Heart Zones Cycling are waving flags for us. Of course, all of us will be riding with heart rate monitors and Heart Zone Training is our "official" training method.

      "Empower to Live," Power Properties, LLC of B'ham, Alabama has empowered us to pedal. JB Perrine and John Howerton, directors of the newly formed Power Properties, LLC, believe in us! Power Properties, is a new company on the move in B'ham,AL and they have us on the move! Check 'em out for great deals on Real Estate and houses.

      Recently, we have had 3 people to convert from Spoke #2 to Spoke #3. (Spoke #2- Those who want to go, but don't know. Spoke #3- Those who know and are ready to go.)

      Paul Swift, Gold Medal Cyclist of the Goodwill Games, has joined the ranks for a couple of days. Paul's alias is "Swifty." He is a sprinter, not a distance dude. He has taken the distance challenge for a few days. Paul is the West Coast connection- Thanks Paul for running the airport shuttle!

      Jimmy Burr and Burt Guet will be "shuttle bugs," and Mother Mary will keep the "home fires" burning.

      Special thanks to: Cathy Burr-The first person to give me "specific instructions." Cathy, my dear friend, gave me a phone card and said "Call your mother." Thanks, Cathy.

Cheerleader
      Christi O'Neil-Lynch- "Head Cheerleader" The ride across America is one of Christi's dreams. Christi keeps visualizing the ride and telling us about it. Thanks for the mental telepathy and all your encouragement!

WeCycle Chaplain
      In a recent conversation with Janey Kortas, she said "I've looked at your list and you need prayer." Janey is the "Wecycle Chaplain," email: peace@brier.net. This journey is definitely a spiritual one. We will spend many hours on the bike praying. God has been good to all of us. We are thankful for so many blessings- especially our health, our families and friends and his traveling mercy.

Where Did Ya' Get Your Stuff?

      RV- Young RV Sales, Kevin Cooke, salesperson (great guy)-- sold the RV over the phone and stuck with us til' we finally rolled out of Kings Mountain, North Carolina www.youngrv.com Thanks to the whole staff.
