We have been cycling together since 2002 when we crossed the United States as members of an Adventure Cycling trip.  We have become friends and transitioned from group trips to planning our own adventures that have taken us many places.  Last year's big trip was following the Mississippi River from its headwaters in northern Minnesota to St. Louis, Missouri.  This year's trip will begin when Jeff drives from his home in Virginia to Joe's home in New York.  From there, we will drive to Acadia National Park in Maine and the Acadian shores in Nova Scotia where we will cycle some of the most beautiful shores on the east coast.
