To all my girls at home


Taking the day in Louisville to try to set up media contacts...spread awareness.


Bryan has reviewed the maps - 929 miles to go! If we do a bare minimum of 25 miles a day, we could finish on 6/18.


Headed to Buffalo to pick back up where we left off and headed to Bardstown, KY. Unsucessful with media/news. Bryan got a lot done.


A closer look at the bike


Hot pavement and childhood memories


Hello to Mom and Dad

Hi Everyone,

Just want to apologize in advance for the onslaught of blog posts...and for not posting any in a while. I've had some technical problems but now that those have been worked out, I'm playing catch up, so I will hopefully be posting a bunch of his video blogs today and tomorrow. Also, for anyone that hasn't checked out his facebook page for his trip, I try to do quick updates on their frequently on where he's at and what he's up to. Bryan, his driver/support partner, has also been very busy making his own video's of the trip to share with everyone. They are nicely done, editing and all, and offer another perspective of the trip, (besides just a closeup of Allen's face...lol). You can find Bryan's youtube channel and watch his video's here.

Thanks for your interest in following Allen's trip! Click here if you'd like to donate, every little bit helps! We are just shy of being only half way to Allen's goal of $10,000.

And thanks so much to everyone who has donated thus far, including those that have donated other things, like supplies, care packages, free hotel rooms and meals, just to name a few. Allen could not have made it this far without all of the love and support from his friends and family and supporters, including all of those he's met along the way!

Sincerely,
Andrea
