Wow, back on the FCBA cross country ride again!! I rode across the USA last year with this wonderful group of strangers that became friends. I am so excited to meet the new people who have joined our merry band as well as catching up with some of the great people who have also returned from last years ride.
Thanks for reaching out to us, we’ll be in touch with you soon!
