I'm getting ready to fly out tomorrow to take part in an epic trip ... a 3000 mile race across America. Check and see if I'm passing through your town ...
This weekend I'll be flying out to LA to participate on the media team for Race Across America (RAAM). Be sure to subscribe and stay up-to-date on my 3000 mile road trip across America following inspiring cyclists from all over the world as they peddle fast from coast to coast.
As I'm gearing up to spend a couple of weeks doing a 3000 mile road trip from LA to Maryland to follow RAAM, I'm taking a closer look at road food. The small "mom and pop" type of diners that you discover while driving back roads state-to-state across America. Even in Europe I took a couple of short road trips and found some great eats along the way. My friends there thought it was strange that I'd rather take a car then a train. But fan and follower, Sam Turner, shares my sentiment for finding tasty and casual treats such as pizza and steak frites. Here are his favorite finds ...

Guest Post by Katie Aune: I could barely hide my smile as I walked underneath it, heading down a path to join one of the most famous lines (or as the British would say, queues) in the world – the line for coveted Wimbledon tickets.

The first time I rode in a helicopter, I was hooked. I loved the floating sensation and the view. There was only one problem: I couldn't tell anyone about my first flight.

"The marathon is a charismatic event. It has everything. It has drama. It has competition. It has camaraderie. It has heroism. Every jogger can't dream of being an Olympic champion, but he can dream of finishing a marathon." -Fred Lebow

She starts off with her bucket list, or "manifesto," that inspired her to conquer her fear of heights by taking a flying trapeze class.
