Dave Moore is the man from my home town of Gettysburg, Pa who rode the Cross Country Challenge with America by Bicycle in the summer of 2007. I contacted him upon his return home wondering if he thought I could do the ride. He thought I could and encouraged me to pursue my interest. Dave has cycled many hours and miles with me the past two years. Last summer, we did a week long ride on the Natchez Trace Parkway with Coach Arlene and friends as a result of Dave's immediate reaction, "let's do it", when told Arlene wanted to ride the Parkway. That trip was a test for me to see how I would fair on back to back long days. I did okay and this only encouraged me more to attempt my own Cross Country Challenge. Dave will be joining me this summer of the first leg of my trip - riding from San Francisco and arriving in Salt Lake City eleven days later.
