The story of a 9-year-old boy and his dad as they cross the USA by bicycle.

 

Will is not really pedaling in this picture

Who are we?

Will is a 3rd grader from St. Anne School in Barrington, Illinois. He enjoys baseball, soccer, and GameBoy. Dave is a 47 year old Air Traffic Control Specialist at O'Hare Approach Control in suburban Chicago. He has been married to Lynn since 1984 and they have two other children, Katie (15), and David (13).

Preliminary research indicates that Will may be the youngest person ever to cross the USA on the front of a tandem!

Honorary lap at the Northbrook Velodrome (and I really mean it this time!)  
Dave and Will at the Northbrook VelodromeWill was honored this evening as the youngest person ever to cross the USA on the front of a tandem bicycle. Dean Schott of the Northbrook Cycle Committee presented us with a plaque in front of several hundred cycling enthusiasts before the pro races started. We then took an honorary lap, and got some speed up to attack the highly banked corners! There was a standing ovation given us as we returned to the start/finish line. We greatly enjoyed the evening, as the pro races were quite exciting.
Will and I are scheduled to speak before the Fox Valley Bicycle Club and the Wheeling Wheelmen, and I will be making a presentation concerning stressful careers and how cycling can help at Wheeling High School, all in early November.
