I love this! Many people are reaching out to me, offering me help for the trip. I appreciate everyone’s kindness. I am amazed by social media and how it is connecting me to people.
Still passing around the helmet for donations. :) Thanks so much to Claudia Gibson from Lebanon , NH
Sorry to be asking for help on this, but this Expedition cost money. Remember the money goes toward expenses: travel, food, emergency, insurance, equipment, and media gear. Please, as this is grassroots anything will help $20, $50, $100 or what you are comfortable with donating. We still need over $6000 to fully fund it? Anyone a millionaire? I will place your name on the support page, talk to you while on the Expedition via email or phone, and acknowledge you in the book.
This is a group effort, although I am the one physically biking the W3R, everyone who contributes is part of the team.
Claudia also said something to me in a follow up email that helped me refocus on why I am doing this expedition.
"I like the kind of exploration you plan to do -- making a path (and not thru the wilderness) but from a point of view -- of a cyclist, walker, person of a previous century. Like Anne Mustoe." '
Claudia paid me a huge compliment by comparing this style of trip to the travel author, Anne Mustoe.
This ride is a big deal. Following the footsteps of those people who 230 years ago helped insure the freedom and liberty we so enjoy in America
I am excited that I am bringing together: historians, cyclists, National Park Service, artists, alternative transportation advocates, non cyclists, kids, reenactors, Adventure Cycling Association, and hopefully...you!
Please share this site with all the people you know!
Peace,
Bill
