While this is barely filmic, it is. Last week, Andre Braugher (Glory, The Tuskegee Airmen, Primal Fear, a bright spot in an otherwise mediocre Duets, City of Angels, Frequency, Homicide Life on the Streets) stayed in a bed & breakfast a few miles from here on an overnight stop. Seems he is riding his bicycle across the US this summer. I'm not sure if he was going east to west or west to east, but in either case, Indiana is a "far piece" on a bicycle. I thought it was kind of fascinating. Braugher is 44 and from Chicago. |

This guy nEverested on his bike.....
From Stockholm to the Top of Everest and Back to Nepal by Bike with the �Crazy Swede�
In 1996, G�ran Kropp pedaled a bicycle loaded with 285 pounds of food and equipment from Stockholm to Nepal, climbed the world�s tallest mountain unaided and then rolled home on his bike. The yearlong journey earned Kropp his �Crazy Swede� nickname and, according to National Geographic Adventure magazine, the title of Earth�s Most Entertaining Adventurer.
Brad Wetzler�s profile in NGA�s May issue reveals just how entertaining and crazy Kropp can be. Among his planned adventures is a trip to the South Pole. He says he�s going to sail to Antarctica from Sweden and ski to the pole, then he�ll do the reverse to get home. �Informed outsiders peg his chances at somewhere between zero and zilch,� Wetzler writes. �[I]n part because he�s just now learning to sail.�

Sounds like Smithy Ide (The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty) had a good shared idea. |

I live just a few miles from US 40, which is a major thoroughfare for bicycle trekkers. It's off of I-70 by just a few miles, goes through many smaller towns and is user-friendly. The larger bicycle across the US in late summer comes through with dozens of cylcers from all over the world. A couple summers back, a German team came through and stopped at the store where I worked, late one Sunday afternoon. They were quite nice, gave me some Euro coins and moved on. Wish my knees would let me ride that way! |

Awesome!
I once hosted a couple for a few days who were riding across the US. They were on their way around the world (and had been on the road for years). They made it home, and last I heard, sold their house so they could go again.
Sounds crazy, but I wish I could do that, too.  |
