Our friend Aaron Scott (Attica! Attica!) and company are embarking on a 7-week bike tour down the east coast from Massachusetts to Florida.

All of the money they make from shows/donations while on tour will be donated to World Bicycle Relief.

When he has time, he’ll be posting his own tour diary entries for WWeek. Give it a read, why don’t ya?

A year later, I am about to be that man. I will shed my Friday night skin and feel the taut, tender newness of my Saturday morning persona. I will wake early. I will be cheerful. I will ride across bridges, and I will greet the all-night revelers with a happy, “Good morning.” I will don the mantle of greatness worn by the heroes of my childhood. Lemond. Flo-Jo. Jake “The Snake” Roberts. As did they, so too, will I. I will become the Spandex Prince.
