A Saratoga Springs couple, Bliss and Robert Sawyer, embarked on an ambitious road biking journey across the United States, from Washington state to New Jersey. They have been road biking seriously for over 25 years and have visited various countries, including the U.K., Norway, and Switzerland. The couple aims to raise money for two charities, Tabitha's Way Food Pantry and Habitat for Humanity, through their journey.
Saratoga Springs — Washington state to New Jersey in a little more than three months. This ride would be the most ambitious Bliss and Robert Sawyer attempted.
The Saratoga Springs couple began road biking seriously about 25 years ago. One long haul at a time, they rode all over the country and all over the world, taking their bikes to the U.K., Norway and Switzerland. Seeing our own country from a bicycle, she said. Because to me, that's kind of the magic of it, is you see things differently.
They planned to camp often and stay in roadside hotels every few nights, biking daily through all kinds of weather. Robert Sawyer said in the early days, they were concerned about how fast they rode and how far each day, but by now, they've learned to enjoy the journey. Through their ride, the couple was working to raise money for two charities, Tabitha's Way Food Pantry and Habitat for Humanity.
They've had a few sponsors to help with gear, but said for the most part, they would fund this trip themselves. Martin is a reporter for KSL. Originally from Southern California, she's lived in Utah for more than a decade and has several years of experience covering Utah news
