From Erika, Spring 2002: 4200 miles is a lot, and there are shorter ways to cross the country; but what the heck? Remember, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. It's about seeing and experiencing small town USA, national parks, small cafes, little stops, ice cream shops, meeting people, and experiencing our country -- not 
on a whirlwind through the window of a car, but mile by mile,
from the seat of a bicycle. It's a celebration of what
makes our country tick, and the blessings we've been given. It's a celebration of life, while, hopefully, making a
difference...I'm riding in honor of, and in tribute to, someone who changed my life - my mom. With support from my
friends, family and colleagues, I'm riding to help fund research to eradicate breast cancer. |
From Cycle America: Erika is one of our charity riders who comes to us via the Bay Area
in California . She is raising funds for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the global leader of
private research
dollars for breast cancer research. She's riding in honor of her mother who passed
away of breast cancer, and to
support friends who have been diagnosed with the disease. She's raised over $63,000 in donations. Congratulations,
Erika! She was also part of the fearsome ice cream foursome that stopped for a cone almost every single day on tour!
