Now for a new feature in HITH: I know (or at least
hope) that CRF members have interesting hobbies. In each issue, I’d like
to feature a blurb on a recent adventure by one of our members. Sort of a
“What I Did Last Summer” item. The inspiration comes from Bay Area Chapter
VP and long-time receiver, Clay Dunning, who wrote me about his 4,000
Mile Bike Ride Across America.
Clay cycled from San Francisco, CA to Virginia Beach,
VA. His group of 20 cyclists crossed the Sierra-Nevada Mountains at 8,573’
Carson Pass and the Rocky Mountains at 11,512’ Monarch Pass with plenty of
other bumps along the way, not the least of which were the Appalachian
Mountains in the Eastern US. The 70 day coast-to-coast trip included 60
days of pedaling, 7 days of rest, a day to meet fellow cyclists at the
beginning and 2 days to recuperate at the end. 1,440,000 pedal strokes,
but who’s counting. Clay waxed poetic about the trip highlighting the
beauty of San Francisco Bay, the magnificence of the Sierra-Nevada
Mountains, the vastness of the deserts of Nevada, the lunar-like terrain
of Utah’s famous canyons, the rugged Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the
prairie land of Kansas and Missouri, and the southern hospitality of
Kentucky and Virginia. He had planned to do the trip long ago, but work
always got in the way. He signed up with Bicycle Adventure Club, which
organizes rides around the world and with which he cycled in Tuscany last
fall and will cycle with again this spring in Provence.
Thanks Clay. Who else will step forward with a story
of their adventure or hobby?
