The climbs along the Pacific Range have been tough during days one and two, but the views have been spectacular. The route is scenic, but after two days and 130 miles, I am only 5 miles East!

Hey Gar!
What a beautiful view! Wish I could be riding with you or better yet in a little side car attached to your bike. Ha! I'm sure you'll run out of rain soon. There can only be so much of that stuff, right?
Have a wonderful 3rd day!
Love,
Me
Darn! I didn't think the Portland Rose Festival Curse (rain, always) would reach all the way to the coast. Well, look at it this way: you don't need to pay for a nice warm, dry motel room in order to take a shower....

Hi Gary! Have a great ride. The NY Vogts will be checking in on you regularly. Did you put the playing cards in your spokes like you wanted to do? It'll make you feel like you have an engine...really.
Love,
Dave, Cathy, Julia and Madeline
Gary:
You are the Man! I wish I had the courage and strength to tackle such a journey. Keep that reflective vest on. Stay hydrated and eat to fuel the engine! Let me know if you need a drop shipment of Hammer Gel or Endurlytes. Stay safe and I look forward to following your journey.
Is that a BOB trailer?

Big Gar',
Mary and I left some Twinkies for you next to a big rock in Jackson Hole. Facing the sun it will be the one on your left. We fled because of the snow last week.

Wow Gary!! What a beautiful sight to see...too bad about the rain. Just talked to Lise and said she had talked to you. Keeping up with you daily and hope you are pedaling along. Push hard and just keep singing as you go, it might help! Wishing you the best and waiting each day to see what you have done.
Love,
Diana

Good to meet you at Belknap. I have 2 days to go so I know you have a lot of great sights and experiences in store. Cheers. Andy. Www.transamericatrailcycle.com
6th period wants to know how you are doing. I see you are in rain. Keep dry.
The view is beautiful Coach Hicklin! I think it's amazing what you're doing. My dad and I wish you the best of luck!

Hi Mr. Hicklin,
You are getting closer...
It is cold and rainy here too with more to come. Watch out for the grizzlies here. I miss the 11 temp and humidity of VA.

Gary Hicklin, how the hell are you doing. The pictures are incredible but you have to stop taking all these breaks or you won't make it back here until 2009. If you are burning over 4,000 cal. a day, I know what sport I am going to take up. Wishing you the best.
