On May 30, 2011, my nephews Andy Underwood and John Vrabel and I began an epic bicycle trip, pedaling east from Venice Beach, California on a ride of about 3200 miles that will taken us coast to coast through 15 states landing us in Asbury Park, New Jersey. We are riding to explore the power behind daily exercise, healthy eating, and feeding the mind and spirit through reading and/or writing.

Biography
Kevin Vrabel is a coach, teacher and owner/director of Snowbird Softball and Snowbird Lacrosse in Myrtle Beach SC. He has three rescue dogs: Clyde, a 95 lbs black lab, great dane mix found near the beach in Myrtle Beach, Boo, 35lbs border collie mix who was left at his house and Sarge, golden retriever, a recent, “tied to a tree in PA” rescue.
Kevin has been cycling most of his life beginning as an amateur “stunt” rider, crashing his cruiser intentionally in front of the Hayward family’s home in hopes of gaining the attention of their daughter, Teresa. He has also raced as a USCF road racer and lead tours in California and the Northeast.
