Jon Marc is a Software Engineer with
Autodesk, Inc. A wonderful policy of the company is to provide periodic sabbaticals, which is how we have been able to do this ride.
Jon has previously ridden across the United States with his son Nathan.
Mary Carol began bicycling just a few years ago, with Jon Marc. Together they have ridden across New York, Washington,
and Oregon.
A couple years ago they made a promise to each other. If Jon Marc learned to speak French, and Mary
Carol learned how to tour by bicycle - they would cycle France together. Well, at least one of us has kept the promise!
(MC does say that Jon has acheived the vocabulary of a 3 year old - but how many 3 year olds know how to order wine?)
