Pedaling Through History: America's Legacy on the 9/11 Trail and Beyond
As the wheels of our bikes spin, so do the tales of our cross-country odyssey. Join Adam, myself, and our cycling comrades Ryan Roenigk and Bruce White about the physical endurance it takes to tackle long-distance tours; it's a tribute to the emotional connections and heartfelt stories forged along the way. Think of it as a mosaic, where each pedal stroke paints a stroke of the past and every turn unveils a narrative of our nation's milestones.
Our journey takes us through small towns and big cities, across bridges and into the hearts of communities that have felt the ripples of history. We celebrate the eccentricity of shared adventures, like the couple conquering miles on a tandem bike and the inspiring triumphs of an Eagle Scout with cerebral palsy. Bruce's meticulous planning and Ryan's generous donations come to life as we recount the creation of memorials and the planning of future tours. The 2026 ride beckons with the promise of fireworks in Philadelphia, marking significant American anniversaries and offering a chance for listeners to ride alongside history.
As the sun sets on another episode, we don't just bid farewell; we leave you with an invitation to the open road. Whether it's the touch of tribute at O'Hara's Pub or the anticipation of cycling through historic sites, our tales are a reminder of the beauty in shared journeys and the strength found in remembrance. So rest up, gear up, and if your heart's in it, join us in pedaling through the chapters of America's story, where every mile is a memory, and every ride, a legacy.
