He has been cycling for five years and really preparing the past 10 months.

'': Perry, a physicist at American River College, pedaled 800 miles in Europe working on a Master's Thesis where he took water samples along the Rhine River. Perry also participated in a teaching exchange program and he spent a year in Montreal, Canada. Asked if they would do it again, they admitted they are considering cycling to Vancouver, Canada in two years. The travelers left Sacramento with a man and his son who were cycling to Virginia. They missed them for three days but came in contact again and parted in Delta. Grim stated that bicycle travel is not something the faint of heart should try, it took five or six days to get bicycle legs. Family members checked the cyclists' gear and noticed they traveled with two water bottles and A granddaughter wanted to know if Grandpa was going to take her for a ride around the block. J.P.'s wife, Connie Grim, was born and raised in Pleasant Grove. Her sisters, with family members, joined daughter Michelle and the grandchildren's parents, Randy and Dominique House.
