Across America By Bike @ REI Lincoln Park

Interested in Bike Touring? Come chat with two retirees who went across america by bike.

Travel with Alice Honeywell and Bobbi Montgomery as they bicycle into retirement. Leaving their families behind in Wisconsin and Ohio, they fly to the West Coast, pile their bicycles with gear, and pedal from Astoria, Oregon, to Bar Harbor, Maine, powered by the strength of their legs and a desire for adventure. Along their 3,600-mile journey, they test and deepen their friendship, defy aches and pains, experience the vast and varied beauty of their country's terrain, and discover the challenges and satisfaction of a scaled-down lifestyle. Best of all, they encounter unfailing generosity from people they meet--from a North Dakota woman who prays for their safekeeping, to the offer of a lake house in Michigan, to invitations for dinner and a place to sleep at stops all along the way.

RSVP in advance. Space is limited to 45. Register
