Launch: Lynn and Barry's Great Bicycle Adventure

Some of you know that Barry Kane and Lynn Sutton are about to start out on a great bicycle adventure. The idea was born last October when we were tooling around the Elizabethan Gardens on Roanoke Island. "I've always wanted to ride the Pittsburgh to DC trail," says Barry. "I'd do it with you," says Lynn. It sounded like a good idea at the time!

Plans have changed many times, from going west to east, to east to west, from Cumberland to DC, to Deal, PA to McKeesport, PA. Avoiding the eastern continental divide was Barry's best idea yet. Bill and Mom will be our designated support team, hauling ourselves and our bikes from trail to lodging each night.

I will try to keep the blog up to date on a daily basis - with pictures, no less (you'll be proud of me, Susan). Here is a stock photo of Barry and Bill, father and son, in happier times:
