New Jersey K-Hounds Joe Kratovil and Paul Shapiro were my inspiration and motivation for attempting this goal. We rode thousands of Km together and they were constantly encouraging me to go for it. If it weren’t for their conviction that I could ride this much, I doubt I would have tried. We had a little celebration lunch at the finish. My wife, Eileen Bruns, and Joe’s wife, Lucy, joined us as well. ... Christine Newman
