In Archer's words

We are 14 days into Skip’s coast-to-coast bike ride for PD.  Seeing he western US 100 miles at a time really give you time to appreciate the beauty of mother nature.  Skip has been riding 125 miles a day and I just can’t believe how he can do it.  Ashley, my future daughter in law and me are Skips sag team.  Ashley has been driving the route 100 miles at a time, which gives me time to get to know her, and her me. Cindy is back home where she works continuously behind the scenes; this trip would be perfect if Cindy could be with us.  I am so proud of Skip for doing this, it’s hard work but he enjoys the challenge.  I don’t know how to thank all the supporters.  Thank to PATCO for helping to make it possible for me to be a part of this ride with my son.  Thank everyone for all of the PR work across the country. Pat Boyle for the generous support.  My family and friends are so special; I can always count on them. I’ve been doing ok a little slow getting out of the car, I was a bit concerned about my balance on our hikes in Yellowstone, but it worked out ok.
