In May 2024 they plan to start in Miami, Florida and spend the summer cycling North to Maine. When Shepherd Colver was just 6 years old he approached his father and shared his dream of cycling to New York to see the Statue of Liberty. His father, a former cross country cyclist, agreed to train him. In 2019 when Shepherd was just 7 years old they left from Anacortes Washington and cycled together a
ll the way to eastern Montana. Sadly after cycling over 1000 miles across 2 mountain ranges Shepherd learned he had Type 1 Diabetes and had to suspend the tour. In 2021 Shepherd and his dad took the train back to were they left off and continued riding east. Together they completed this journey in August 2021. Once completed Shepherd became the youngest Type 1 Diabetic cyclist to cycle across the United States. The tour took a total of 18.5 weeks to complete. Together Shepherd and his dad cycled approximately 3470 miles total. This year Shepherd plans to ride the Pacific Coast trail from Canada to Mexico with his Mother, Liz Colver. Adventure is a Family Value :)
