Follow Rich Wolpert’s Ride for Behind the Scenes
You can follow Rich Wolpert’s 11-day, 750-mile bicycle ride from Springfield, MO to the USITT Conference in Houston, TX by logging onto http://www.estafoundation.org/bts/events/UCBT.htm. Rich is sending in daily postings and pictures of his travels through the heartland.
Although Rich was supposed to be accompanied by his wife Becky on their tandem recumbent bicycle, she injured her knee just before the ride and had to bow out. Rich was forced by circumstances to get the bike he’s always wanted, a Rans Stratus recumbent. Robin Schraft, Chairman of the Theatre Department at Drury University, accompanied Rich on his first day of riding, but now he’s going solo until he gets to Texas.
Rich has already covered 265.2 miles with his shortest ride at 57.9 miles and the longest clocking in at 72.9 miles. His average speed is ranging from 11.6 to 14.2 mph depending on headwinds.
It’s not too late to support Rich’s ride. You can download the donor form from the website.
