Update - Fallen Heroes Bike Tour
by Larry LagardeUS military veteran Edward Acevedo sent me an update today regarding his bike tour to raise awareness for US military personnel that have been disabled or killed while serving our country in Afghanistan and Iraq. Here are some quotes from Ed.
I started pedaling on 23 March, and it has been a good month. I have made it to Houston, and so far so good.Unfortunately, my admin ability has not been as good as I thought it would be so it has taken me a while to get caught up on emails. I was advised against trying to cycle into New Orleans by some of my LA friends, so I wound up not going through there. I stopped at the LA War vets Home in Jackson, which was very inspiring and made me appreciate the value of what I was doing. Also passed through Opelousas and enjoyed my visit. A gentleman there has a spare apartment and rents out nice rooms to cyclists. I can pass his contact info along if you know anybody who might be interested.
Thanks for the update, Ed.
For more info about Ed's bike tour, visit Bike4Vets.org where you can find journal entries from the road, photos and media coverage including this story from an Opelousas, Louisiana newspaper.
I invite any bicyclist that is doing an extraordinary or inspirational bike tour to write me about their bike trip. Together, we can inspire more people to get out and go bicycling!
