ANNE KELLY 68, retired, 2 sons,
1 grand daughter Anne has been cycling 15 years, this is her first
cross country tour but she has done many other tours that were
shorter such as the Santa Fe Trail, a tour around the Finger Lakes

she hangs her "helmet". There is a special man in her life - Harmon.
CAROLYN WALTERS 64, retired,

6 years, this is her second cross country tour. Her first one
was four years ago on the southern route from San Diego to St.

There is a dear dog in her life - Charlie.
Anne and Carolyn started this tour June 15th from the coast
of Oregon when they dipped their rear wheels in the Pacific Ocean.
They average 60 miles per day with one day off per week. Their
longest day was 90 miles. They camp most nights. Their half way
point is Council Bluffs, IA.. They expect to reach Portland ME
sometime in September when the will dip their front wheel in the
Atlantic Ocean.
Many folks have opened their homes to us along our route. This
adventure would not be possible without many at home and those
met along the way that have supported our tour. We want to thank
you one and all and for all the wonderful E-mail messages of support
and encouragement. It is nice to know that we are not alone in
our endeavour.
Love from the Portland to Portland Gals, Carolyn & Anne
