Well, it's a for-profit bike tour company. Those who crew are carefully selected, well qualified and work very well as a team, are paid, and work very hard. And he wants to ride it. And I wouldn't really enjoy it without him at my side, since this is our yearly ride together. We are doing this 2 weeks a year 'til we get all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. In a perfect world, when we retire, we'd like to do the same ride and do it all together (7 weeks). It's been great fun! We'll see.....Tokie
