Wendy Dropkin is a teacher at Waterville Valley Academy. She believes that "when your 23 year old daughter asks you if you would like to bike across the country, you say YES!" She feels blessed to have a daughter who is a best friend and has the same outdoor interests, let alone wants to spend two months with her mom. She is thankful to have a husband who always supports her crazy ideas.
Casey Dropkin is a Bates College graduate and is currently attending the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in Massachusetts from which she expects to receive her DVM in 2016. This upcoming summer is her last summer break ever and she decided to make it count. Biking cross country has always been one of her dreams. As an animal lover, future veterinarian, and daughter of a police officer she feels strongly that the dogs who serve alongside our officers deserve to be protected. She is thrilled that her family supports her dreams and that her mother has agreed to accompany her on this latest adventure.

why did you choose to start west and peddle east? did you have issues flying your bikes west? did you use ebikes or peddle touring bikes? im working on doing cross country bike adventure either summer 2023 or 2024. been reading lots of blogs and researching routes. super excited about the trip. been looking into upgrading to a ebike for the trip. but thinking ill leave from maine and go west. however after reading several blogs seems several fly west and ride east. is that for the reason to ride with the weather?
ReplyDeletei live in maine, have summers off so plan to leave when school lets out and ride to washington coast. then fly home from seattle. how many days did your adventure take you. saw you had few days of over 100 miles. thats awesome. loved reading your blog. any advice you can offer would be wonderful.
