Hello, my name is Ken
I have always dreamed of riding my bike across the United States. On March 4th I left my house in Florida to do just that. The goal: to ride the bicycle to San Francisco, CA. The first 7 or 8 days I constantly had thoughts about quitting - especially since my good friends said they would come and get me if I felt I had to stop. After all, I am 67 years old. The main thing going for me is a that I love bike riding.
Many people have encouraged me to start a gofundme page for this project, but I didn't want to open that door until I could prove to myself that I had what it took. I had polio as an infant and it makes this endeavor more challenging. Now I am a little over 1,000 miles into the 3,500 mile journey, and I believe I have the moxie to finish.
Most of my nights have been spent camping in the woods. This funding will help support some easier accommodation and provide for flying myself and my bicycle back to Florida at the finish. I will probably be on the road another eight weeks. Thank you so much for considering helping me make this goal. I will post more pictures as I go.
