Piloting the 2MC

www.2MileChallenge.com

Meet Roy.

Roy is a Navy man at his core, a smooth-operatin’ driver-of-all-things-with-steering-wheel at hand, and Renaissance man at heart. Roy has one of the most important roles here on the 2 Mile Challenge Fall tour - he gets the team safely from place to place, masterfully steering the old double-clutchin’, air-brakin’, bio-fueled rig from town-to-town with style and grace. In that vein, he is an artiste of sorts…

Second to that, he has more one-liners in his repertoire than you can shake a stick at, and is always apt to spin a yarn or two at the delight and entertainment of those nearby. (Ask him the one about Mike’s eyes…)

Despite his affinity for most machines with a throttle, Roy harkened his softer side at a rest stop in Arizona where he took a quick spin on the Electra Daisy 3-speed cruiser. His only complaint was that it didn’t come in Navy blue…

    Dad reports that he is having the time of his life driving the bus. And just so you know- he can shake more than stick, Try the whole tree.
    Love you Dad,

    Roy is a RIOT and I am so glad that you are all having so much fun on your tour! We do miss his smiling face up here in NE Washington, though. Come back when you get a chance — the autumn colors are incredible right now and the weather is not too cold yet. Travel safely, folks, whatever you’re driving…
    grins.
