“Bike-u” journal chronicles local rider’s Trans-Am ride

While out filming this weekend I ran into Judy Martell, who this summer completed her Trans-America bike adventure. From Oregon to Colorado, she rode her locally-built recumbent for 31 continuous days to complete the final stage of a journey she began seven years ago. I last mentioned Martell in these pages in an Outspokin’ Cyclist column from 2005. Martell chronicles her Lewis and Clark-ian ride over at crazyguyonabike with a haiku and photo for every day of the ride.

I cross the threshold
that lies between when and now
and I begin to ride.

photo and haiku: Judy Martell  Teton Range, Wyoming

Congrats Judy!

  I don’t know… I don’t have an answer, but I think a worthy pursuit in life is to ask questions the answers to which cannot be Googled. It’s often useful just to articulate the problem, and that may be all we can do. — Phillip Barron "Doping scandals spoiling the spirit of sports"
