Years ago, Brian Young called the company that makes the candy Mike and Ike’s to complain about how good they were. His complaint was that he couldn’t stop eating them, so they sent him more. Other than my extra special lady friend, I’d never met anyone who ate candy like Brian until going on this trip with Heath. I mean, I knew he ate candy, but that wasn’t even scratching the surface.
So guess where we went…..guess.
Hershey Pennsylvania. Home of his beloved Reese’s.
I was a little salty because it took me so long to find the entrance, but Heath was so damn excited, he wanted to eat everything. When I arrived about 30 mins after him he said “I could easily spend a couple hundred bucks in there”.
WE'RE REALLY DOING IT 
Heath is wearing the same clothes sans white apron, mask & hat that I saw him wearing when I passed him way back in Colorado. Could be the first two guys to cycle across America without changing clothes? pretty cool.
By the way Jeff, why don’t you guys ride together? Seems that Heath is alway a good 10-30 minutes ahead of you. When I met Heath as he was cresting La Veta pass, you were just starting up the grade from Fort Garland 7 miles back. I say tomorrow, on your final day, you sprint ahead of Heath and finish first. Go for it Jeff….$10 that Heath still wins.
make heath carry all the gear, shoot 20 photos, write a quick autobiography, take a cat nap…and i’ll put $500 on that freak to finish 1st.
I can speak a teensy bit of Hershey…
Moral of this story….rad people have out of control sugar addictions. It’s the breakfast of champions, the dinner of winners!
Now eat another Reeses PB cup and peddle your ass home already!! Can’t wait to see you tmrw!
Heath Bar Crunch, Ice Cream!
You guys resemble a road weary Laverne and Shirley. Hope the sugar rush is awesome.
There are not too few days in our life, but too little life in our days.
Keep it up!
You guys really did it. HELL YEAH
Hey Jeff, is there going to be another update with a bunch of video footage and some other stuff?
Congrats Jeff and Heath, would enjoy hearing more of your perspectives now that its done. Any profound thoughts. What surprised you the most?
Congrats!
