Less Than a Week Before the Journey Starts - 2025 Coast to Coast Ride - CycleBlaze

Less Than a Week Before the Journey Starts

Back in 2021 my longtime friend Robert Seidler suggested that we ride the Coast-to-Coast Trail in our home state of Florida.  That's a ride across the state from the Atlantic to the Gulf coast on a paved multi-use trail with Trail Town stops along the way.  In the early spring of 2022 we would ride round trip,  over 400-miles.  We would invite long time friends Gregg Reese and Greg Wilson to join us.  Unfortunately Robert's long time and wonderful girlfriend Laura Hallam got cancer and passed away  on April 13, 2022.   Needless to say plans for the ride got shelved until the fall of 2024.  However, a devastating hurricane season flooded parts of the route and hotels were at a premium.  So once again we had to postpone.  Now it's time to go.  The weather outlook is predicted to be excellent and Robert, Gregg, Greg and I are ready to start on 3/29/25.  We'll keep this blog updated as we go.
