Hi all, I suddenly have the opportunity to compete in the World Human Power Vehicle Association's (WHPVA) - World Championship races on July 19-21 in Nandax, France. Due to the high cost of getting there and back with my bike, I could really use some help to cover my expenses. As of this...

Hi All, The Final Day - We rode from Peaks of Otter to the end of the Blue Ridge Parkway near Wayneboro, VA. The day started cool with a pretty hard 9 mile climb.

Hello everyone, Day 4 was a very short day - a rest day really with only 42 miles of riding and 3900' of climbing. I tried to limit my power output today to truly rest up. The next 3 days will be 56, 88, & 89 miles of riding which will be tougher. Today was another stellar day on the Blue Ridge...
