I know many who thought I was insane when I decided to embark on a 4000 mile, coast to coast bike ride. However these guys make me feel like a slacker.
Tomorrow fellow Oneonta State alumni, Andy Wahila and Matt Durkin along with current senior Ken Stannard will set out on a coast to coast journey of their own - on foot! Yes, you read that right they are RUNNING across America! No support van to provide them with water every 20 miles rather they are pushing their gear in baby joggers! The three will leave from near Savannah, Georgia on February 1st and continue westward until hopefully arriving in San Diego sometime around June 1st. Their friend Dewey DeLisle will be riding along on his bike. Andy, Matt and Ken all ran cross country and track at Oneonta State and Andy interned in the office where I work his senior year.
From one Oneonta graduate to another I wish you guys 116 days of amazing adventures!

Happy Trails!
On a side note, the first day of summer is only 141 days away!
