Reasons To Ride




Paul Revere rode 12-20 miles (exact route is unknown) primarily to prevent the arrest of Samuel Adams and John Hancock.

Jack Jouett road 40 miles overnight primarily to prevent the arrest of Thomas Jefferson and the members of the Virginia General Assembly sitting at Charlottesville.

Lydia Barr, age 16, rode 98 miles in two days primarily to accompany me in case I had a cardiac arrest.

    Congratulations on your 98 mile ride. It will not be much more difficult to make it to 100. ;-)
