How did this crew come about? We three have a common tie. We all work at Massanutten Resort in the winter time at the Rental/Repair Shop and love to snowboard. The pic on the main page is from a "Hobo" trip to Snowshoe (in WV) back in March. That was a story in itself!! Below is a little bit about each of us.

Name: Jimmy
Road Name: Teacher (temp)
Birth Date: 09/02/82
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 147
Ride: Jamis Ventura
Why Cross Country: I want to see our country and experience an adventure that I not only remember forever, but changes my outlook on life and the diverse cultures that form our country.
Who Are You: I am a JMU Grad student with too many hobbies, ready to get out of his little bubble and see the people that make up this astounding country. I also laugh too much, play too much, eat too much and pay way to much for gas!
Biggest Fear: Colonoscopy
Biggest Fear on the Trip: Looking like a starved prisoner of war - already shaved my head!
Say Anything: Anything is no simple word let me tell ya. You can do anything, you can say anything, and "anything" can happen. The cool thing about anything though, is that for anything to happen, you have to do it. Our "anything" is a 4,000 mile bike ride. I thank everyone, because without you, your help, your support, love, and motivation, this adventure would not be possible. Keep it coming 'cause I'm gonna need it!!!
