We Have Decided to Bicycle Across the USA

After many weeks of drunken conversation the 5 Naked Amigos have decided to bicycle across the southern United States. Let me introduce the Amigos.

Gloria and Ivan:
Married 51 years, full time RVers for several years. Ivan started across the country years ago but his riding partner crashed.  Ivan will ride the entire route.  Bicycling credentials; MTB rides to town to go to Beer Belly's Saloon . Bought a new road bike last week. Gloria will be support half time and ride half time, unless we can convince her to do the whole thing. Bicycling credentials; Rides with Ivan to the bars but does at least stop by the Post Office for their mail.

Sonny:
Retired truck driver with millions of safe miles. Full time RVer.  Lost 50 pounds walking 6-8 miles a day this year. He will be our main support crew, driving G&Is motorhome.  We will be going to every Hooters restaurant close to our route to enhance Sonny's T-shirt collection.

Lee:
My partner for the past year. Retired from the state of California, where she lived her entire life until Rick. We will test our relationship by riding a tandem bicycle. Bicycling credentials; rode centuries back in the '80s, got back into cycling with me on the back of our MTB tandem (crazy woman).

Rick:
Retired 9 years ago and moved into an RV.  Bicycling credentials; rode extensively until about 5 years ago. Probably the most experienced and know what we are facing, but I'm not going tell them. (HAHA)

The training has begun.
