Interviewed by Eric Vohr of the Bennington Banner and
he gave them the key to his apartment to use for the night while
he stayed at his girlfriend's place. The pace is slowing down so
as not to get to Portland too early. |

Dipped front wheels in the Atlantic Ocean. Bikes were
taken to a bike shop for shipment home and Ellen picked them up
at the bike shop and brought them back to her house. This officially
ended their tour across the USA. |

Well;
I am impressed but still don't want to do what you are doing
yet. Tom Parks and I are going to Eugene Ore. on the 7th of Sept.
and then riding back home. Only about 800 miles but should be
interesting. About as far as I want to go. Hope all is well with
you guys and are taking lots of pictures or slides that you can
talk about when you get back. Well, that's about it for now, hope
to see you both soon.

May your ride be safe from Tigers!

Hi Gals! Do you have an arrival date/time for your triumphant
return home? Will you both fly back? It will be wonderful to see
you and hear about your adventures!! |
| Kate Flinn |
Hi Carolyn - Glad to hear you are currently in Vermont, one of
my favorite states and what a great time of year to see it. I bet
it's full of rolling green hills. Just don't stay too long or you'll
hit the frost!!! We are all still spinning madly at the Pismo Athletic
Club and envying your wonderful journey. Have a great trip & see
you when you get back!! |

Congratulations on reaching your goal. I feel like I rode across
the US, moving the store to a new location this summer. What are
your plans from here? Probably rest a little while, huh? I'm looking
forward to seeing my grandbabies on their birthday in October. Call
when you get a chance once you get back home. |
