Quest West - A Ride Across America

We went the entire first week without seeing another bike tourer, but since then we've run into several eastbound riders (we've yet to see another WB rider, but we're pretty sure we've passed a couple!). The first guy we saw was a Brit named Lee who was going solo. Then we saw another solo rider followed by three retired Californian dudes whose wives would drive their camper ahead each day and have food and camp ready for them when they arrived so they didn't have to carry anything! We also passed a couple and a group of four that we didn't stop to talk to, but we did chat a bunch with Tim and Kyle. Tim was finishing the cross country ride that he had started years ago with his son. Although his son has passed away since then, he has continued to do the trail a little bit at a time. Tim will finally be finishing the route soon, and he's doing it with his nephew Kyle, who just graduated from high school and who will be riding the same bike Tim's son started on. It's a really great story, they're really great guys, and we wish them the best of luck in making their miles and finding a good cold beer!
