Kelly Parham works Saturday afternoon on his 3,000-mile Ride Across America at Limestone Place athletic complex. “How do you shut your brain off and look at a wall for eight days,” said Randy Allen, co-owner of Georgia Front Runners. “He’s the king of being able ... to do what has to be done — to hurt.” - photo by NAT GURLEY
A trek is supposed to be a journey of great length, often traveled by walking. On Dec. 6, friends Kelly Parham, 55, of Gainesville, and Peter Kite, 45, of Dawsonville, began a 3,000-mile bike trek. The journey didn’t take the two men across America literally, but they used the Race Across America route as their guide for their ride on stationary bicycles at the Limestone Place athletic complex.
