On Tuesday, Southeast Texas natives Joe Haeggquist, Tom Simon, Charlie Dixon, Eric Laing, Richard James and Britt Gober will begin pedaling their bicycles across the country from San Diego to Washington, D.C.
The group plans to traverse the 3,300 miles in 33 days – 100 miles a day – to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which focuses on cancer awareness. They plan to stop in 34 cities.
Along the way, they’ll be sporting helmets with a Beaumont logo, and the Beaumont Convention and Visitors Bureau provided them with T-shirts to hand out at each stop.
