a small little summer ride

                     This summer I rode my bicycle across the northern half of the country with eight incredible individuals. We were a group of non-cyclists trying to make a difference. We rode for victims of human trafficking, girls forced into prostitution and for Burmese refugees. It was a humbling and renewing experience. These are a few photographs from the trip.
           “We didn’t have much when we started this tour. We had a bike and two legs that could peddle.”
                     “Cycling clothes are a little like baby clothes. Diaper pants and Velcro shoes.”
                                        “You sound like a coyote in a trash compactor.”
  “Are we really sitting in a van, eating lasagna, watching the sunset because there are too many damn mosquitoes…sorry…dang mosquitoes?”
                                                  “America, you have created machines.”
                                    “Twelve hours ago we were taunting a security camera.”
