Celia and I met when we cycled 7,200 km across the country with Tour du Canada in 1997. We then lived in Port Hope, Ontario for 5 years before moving to Hamilton, New Zealand (Celia’s homeland) and where we have continued our enjoyment of cycling for touring and for transport.

Hello Sir, James,
Hope all is well with you and your family, including Molly. I’m doing well and Patsy is recovering at home. (knee replacement). She still has a great deal of pain, but that is to be expected for awhile.

I received this newspaper article from a friend yesterday .”Florrie” Graham Bridgman rode with us Carolina Cyclers when she was a kid, and growing up. She married and moved to Alabama. I did not realize that she was still cycling, but looks like she is a tough lady on a bicycle.

I’m sure Woody (Frank A. “Woody” Graham III CKAP # 274) is proud of her. It’s just hard for me to believe that she is 41 years old and the mother of two children. Oh, well 70 is not old any more.

Flo’s Big Ride
Triumphantly pedaled her bicycle into Phenix City Saturday as the first woman to complete a sanctioned ride across Alabama.
