Hi, I recall seeing you with the Ultra Marathon Cycling indicator of some description. You might be interested in the sport of randonneur cycling - RUSA. Randonneur cycling is another form of endurance cycling. When your journey is complete and your body recovers from the aftershock of the exertion it has taken, RUSA has a website. Your ” dailies ” are of great interest, sounds like the population centers are getting larger as the tour continues. Jack Sharkey

Hi, Wayne. It’s Brian from Milwaukee from Weeks 2 and 3. Just wanted you to know that I check your site every day at work to follow your progress - - I am cycling vicariously across the rest of the country with you! I will be looking out for you guys and gals on Thursday and Friday, when you will be only about an hour north of my home. Keep up the good Web work, and ride safely!

PS: Tell Phillip, Peter, Graham and all the surly Brit boys to stop spending so much time in bars!

Hi Wayne, congratulatons to you and all cyclists on your perseverance and determination as the tour winds its way across your great country.

Can I send you some rainfall? Since my return 17th, it’s done nothing but here on the left coast . Most unusual!

In the hope that everyone is well and in good spirits, Jack

Hi, Wayne.

I have been busy with my own volunteer work, so only get to read your blog infrequently. Tonight I caught up with all I missed to date. Are you still in South Dakota?

Your adventure is impressive and I am glad you are enjoying it. I admire your biking endurance. I also admire the attention you are bringing to PTSD.

I wish you cool weather and tailwinds.

Frank

Paula:

Thanks for your comments. Do you (or others at Soldier’s Heart) have any comments on the exchange I had at the end of Day 34? I think that the conversation went well and ended appropriately.

I was surprised about the “push-back” from the VFW folks and was wondering if there were any suggestions for improvements?

Thanks

PS:

I’ll probabally need some more of your brochures before the trip ends. Also, we will be in Wisconsin next week.

Wayne,

Thanks for the updates on the cross-country trip. I have other people reading your account as well as Bob’s family members. Thanks for relaying my message to him.
Keep pedaling and enjoying the sights of this great country; you and the others are half-way there

Dear Wayne,

Just want you to know we’re thinking of you, deeply grateful for each mile you’re pedaling on behalf of those who suffer from war related PTSD. You are a wonderful example of what one man can do, in service to humanity. We are watching your progress, and sending you positive energy for continued strength, and endurance.

From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU WAYNE!
