Chun Chieh Lin (first picture), a 27-year old Taiwanese
from Taipei, decided to bike across North America alone in three months.
He flew to Vancouver, Canada, on May 17, 2004 and started his journey
to Quebec. Inspired by the visit of the "
Bike
Family" to Minnesota last year, he included Minnesota as the
first stop of his routes through the United States. He arrived in the
Twin Cities on June 15. Ray Tsai (second picture, second from left), president
of TAAMN, hosted a welcome dinner at the Peking Garden Restaurant. Six
members of TAAMN also attended the dinner: Raymond Lu, Shr-Wei Chen, Cheng-Cher
Huang, Susan Huang, Chung-Linn Kao, and Tsan-Kuo Chang. Lin left for Madison,
Wisconsin, on June 18. He completed his journey in August.
