Yesterday, I got a call from my editor at the paper about an interesting photo op. Apparently, on a back road about 25 miles north of town, there was a 5-seater bike being ridden. That was all the info I had. Shortly after meeting up with the bikers, though, I knew we had a feature story: 5 people, 1 bike, riding 7,000 miles across country from Kentucky to Alaska. Check it out:

Amazing story. I've met people who biked across the country, but only adults. Hard to believe a family with young girls doing this. What will they do for an encore?

A very well documented story, great use of B&W images, give more impact.
