Adventure Cycling 30th Birthday Bash
This year marked the 30th anniversary of the Bikecentennial rides that took place across the country in 1976. The celebration was timed to meet the riders that had started out from Washington that morning and were camping in Brunswick overnight. There was a good sized crowd there, probably close to 100 when you included the cyclists. The group included about a dozen cyclists that had ridden part or all of the original Trans America in 1976 and they brought with them several items from that original trip including jerseys and helmets.Enjoy some images from the Brunswick, MD event courtesy of Ann & Fred Abeles

Sometimes cyclists have to use cars too. Any suprise that it's a Volvo ?
