E-Verser David Sylvester is well-known across the country from his commentary on ESPN as well as his inspirational travels. Last year, he biked the entire length of Asia! This summer, he’s biking across the United States (in this heat, I barely get off the couch!). Here he is, in his own words:

“Friends and family came from as far as Montréal to celebrate with me and send me off with a great deal of love and warmth in my heart. Whether you were in attendance or not, your significant presence in my life inspires, girds, and fuels me to do what I do. In a speech I spoke about how the longer that people know me and the better I get to know myself, that the significance of the distance of biking through South Dakota, South Africa, South Philly, Turkey, Turkmenistan and all the other places I have been pales in comparison to the distance of who I was and who I am now. The Let This Be the Moment Tour is already a success- not because I have already organized a biking schedule and a schedule of places to contribute but because others are already gearing up to join me to volunteer or bike in most of the major cities that will be in.
