Scott Nunn, a West Point classmate checks his cell phone for
weather forecasts.
Acevedo checks the air in his back tire as Nunn holds his bike steady.
His custom Waterford 1900 bicycle is built for long distance riding.
Acevedo makes sure all his supplies are packed in
his bags. He carries a tent, inflattable mattress and
clothes in his bags.
Acevedo departs Tyndall. His trip began in St. Augustine, Fla. March 23, and
plans to arrive in San Diego around mid-June.
