Kathy Bahrens and Roger Hardy, who paid a visit to Wallaceburg yesterday, started up the coast to Seattle and then headed east.

“The bike is called the Silver Queen,” Bahrens says. “We have been riding the tandem for about 10 or 11 years. We decided we wanted to take a cross-country tour about six years ago when did a shorter tour. And so now we’re doing it!”

All told, they’ve cycled 43-hundred miles so far and expect to go another 10-thousand before they’re done.
