Hey. I don’t want to hear about how tired you are at the end of the day. I have to read all these posts every day. You aren’t the only ones putting in the effort here! All the pointing and clicking just to get here…..think I have carpel tunnel.
Anyway…….looks like you are doing great! Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see you in Boston.
Love, Andy, Pete, and that girl Andy’s engaged to.
We are really enjoying the pics of the great scenery out there. I hope Jane is feeling better. Can’t wait to see you in July.
Love, Gloria, Chris, Matt and Beth
Gene and Jane,
I am enjoying your blog, and enjoying your trip vicariously.
If you didn’t get snow, you wouldn’t properly enjoy the heat you’re now into. And you wouldn’t delight in downhills if you didn’t have to slug your way up the uphills.
Endure and enjoy the moment.
I am keeping up with your progress and I’ll be looking for you as you pass thru western NY.
Cheers!!
Love the Blog! Checking daily to see what is new. We missed you at the big move! And no little Lance yet!
Pritchy @ SwainSports
Much Love & Support to Mr & Mrs E of Perry, NY! New England is cheering you on! You are my new idols! Can’t wait to see you in July!
Water & vaseline! Hugs!!!

I have posted a couple of time.. I thought but they never stick..
not good for the online student
REST DAY! Come On Gene I figured you be home by now!
Gene and Jane,
How wonderful that you’re able to keep up this blog and slideshows so we can all take the ride with you. We are fortunate to be able to enjoy your trip vicariously through the internet. Continued safe riding and keep rolling!!!
Hope to join up with you when you head our way.
Ciao,
Elizabeth
Hi Jane and Gene,

Hi Aunt Jane & Uncle Gene-
I’ve been keeping up with your travels – trying to live through you guys! What fun! Can’t wait to hear about the rest of your trip!
Love,
Wendy
The photo’s are great and the blog really lets us be a part of your journey..
So is the next trip on motorcycles?
Hi guys, I just wanted to say that my daddy loves to read your blog in the middle of the night when I’m keeping him up. Have a safe return home. Liliana Pritchard – 4 days old
Nice entry..
So you like the safety deposit box aye?
Deb and I are in Scottsdale.. 108 today expecting 111 for the 4th of July. I get up at 6ish to use the pool.. can you believe it?
We are keeping Eastern time so it is really 9 and a more human hour.
2 of the pools are open 24 hours.
it is a dry heat and when the wind blows you want to pass out from the heat blast.. i can imaging you guys on bikes in the sand a stuff.
Another rest day is comming up.. Be safe!
Happy 4th of July! Glad to hear all is going good! All in all it sounds like the weather hasn’t been to bad besides wind. Continue on your journey and be safe . Take Care
Guess it’s really not fair to be enjoying your great photos, captions and journal without letting you know we’re following you. To us, it’s an amazing thing you are doing and we admire your effort.
Here today, a lovely all day rain which we needed. Unfortunately, it was not so welcome for most, on the 4th. The boat parade was, not surprisingly, a scraggly few. However, the 3rd was very nice and the fireworks enjoyable all around.
The corn at the top of the hill is more than knee high (for the 4th of July). Like, thigh high. A very healthy crop. How’s that compare to what you’re seeing?
All the best as you continue on.
P.S. CAN DO!
Hey Jane and Gene,
It is soooooo great that you are able to accomplish such a huge goal.
You goooooo!
Nancy Meissel
What an absolutely amazing adventure! Thanks for letting us vicariously live it. The blog is great. Dan is sorry not to ride with you when in NYS. We’ll see you before too long. Light, Love, and Laughter to your group. Stay well and safe. Jane & Dan
THIS TRIP IS TRULY INSPIRATIONAL. BE SAFE AND ENJOY THE LAST FEW RIDES. COLLEEN, BRIAN, KEEGAN, AINSLEY & MARIN
ONLY TWO MORE DAYS TO THE GOAL!!!
Best wishes,
Melissa
