Hi,
My name is Davide and I am almost done with a 6k mile cross country trip for charity. I left on July 12 from the Nebraska Humane Society in Omaha and cruised to Kanab, Utah, to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, then north to Salt Lake City, back to Nebraska through Colorado then southeast to Florida where I will end in Miami in a few weeks. I am on the border between Alabama and Florida right now waiting out a storm...
Anyway, this whole ride was named Buzzin' 4 Strays (Vespa=wasp in Italian, get it?) and designed to raise awareness about the condition of strays animals.
If you are interested, you can read the entire log of the ride and see pics at http://www.cycle4strays.com/2009_Buzzin__4_Strays.html
