Matt Bikes Across NC

October 4-11, 2003

A pre-shot of Knut, Bjorn, and Matt leaving from Knut's house

Matt's "home" inside his tent

600 tents! They usually camped on high school football fields.

Another tent shot

This picture is a little dark...yep, that's because the sun is rising!

Bikers and scenery

Knut and Bjorn taking a break

The view leaving the mountains - Blue Ridge Mountains

Another mountains shot

You can see the high school in this picture

Matt liked showing how many tents there were...

Disturbing that people laid their bikes against tombstones

Countryside - the flat part that the group had to ride that day

Lake Norman in the background here

A cool dam

Everyone getting ready to set up their tents....again

Cool church and graveyard

Knut and Bjorn....twins! (but not really); everyone loved their accents

Here's a vineyard they stopped at and had the local wine

Lots of tents!

These guys had windshields on their recumbant bikes

So this is Knut, Bjorn, and John at the rest station

More Indian burial mounds! They had to ask what these things were

Matt posing

This family had a tandem bike with an extension

John, Knut, and Bjorn trying to avoid the headwinds

Matt rode for5 hours in the rain, and his foot turned into a big wrinkle

Knut's stuff exploded everywhere

The makeshift clothesline

The shower truck! Yes, they actually took showers in an 18-wheeler

Bjorn, Knut, and Matt killing time until they had to line up for dinner

John before dinner

Cool lake shot - not sure what lake this is though

Matt taking an excellent picture of himself...while biking

And Knut took a pretty good picture of Matt while biking

Cool shot of John and the big overhanging trees

All done! Bjorn, John, Knut, and Matt at the end-of-ride fish fry

Erin drove three hours to Oak Island to pick the three boys up
