On the Road notes....Although mismatched, these riding gloves are turning out to be incredibly comfortable. I note them here because my friend Ann noted that CyclePro has been out of business for a long time, leading me to believe that they were likely worn by either Es or Jim, my parents who were one of two scouting pairs for the Trans America Bike Trail, inaugurated as part of Bicentennial in 1976. They cycled across in 1974 for Bikecentennial, which has since morphed into Adventure Cycling, whose maps we are using for this very trip. Needless to say, their presence is felt every day, with tons of gratitude.
