Bob Barnes, 52, is on a tour de America, visiting all capital cities to raise awareness about blood donations and to learn more about society.
He said he bikes on average 44 miles a day, mostly camping in his tent overnight in several places such as truck stops and parks. Once he arrives at a state’s capital building, he takes pictures and continues on his journey. He said his favorite spot was Jefferson City, Missouri because graduation was being held for the state bar at the same time he visited."It was just a really, really nice environment," he said.
For Juneau, Alaska, Barnes plans to take a ferry from Canada and then bike to the city. For Honolulu, Hawaii, he plans to fly to the island then bike to the capital. So far he said the most difficult parts of his journey were in Wyoming, where he faced strong winds, and in Arizona, where he had to bike through a winter storm. "I am stronger than I thought I was," he explained. "Age is a number at this point."
Barnes is not sure what to do once he finishes his tour de America, even floating the idea of driving around in an RV or going back to Uber driving. This story was reported from Los Angeles.
