A group of 55 cyclists from the United States arrived in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam today. They ended a 1,200-mile course through Vietnam. The trip took them 20 days. The course was grueling through some of the country’s mountainous areas as well as flat parts. The group camped and stayed in villages along the way. The U.S. Cycling Federation, which arranged the tour, said it planned to organize another event next year. Officials said the tours are a way to allow U.S. residents to get a close-up look at the country and their people. When the group arrived, it was greeted by firecrackers, flower necklaces, and cold towels. Bob Lester, 33, of Summerville, was one of the cyclists on the trip. He said This trio was the most amazing thing I have ever done in my life. I would recommend the experience to anyone who can pedal a bike.” The cyclists are expected to return to the United States in two weeks. The tour was part of an effort to open Vietnam to outsiders and to present a different picture of the country than people had come to expect from the Vietnam War. Among the cyclists were seven Vietnam veterans and three Vietnamese Americans, all from the United States. The 55 cvclists were from 23 states. Several of the Americans said the journey had erased doubts they might have had about Vietnam and its people. Federation spokesperson John Smith said, “This is truly a unique opportunity for these riders to have both a cultural and competitive experience.” Lester made the trip a goal three years ago when he beat throat cancer. He also quit smoking and took up bike riding. Fellow rider and Vietnam vet Dave Davies, 58, of Tampa, Florida, said, “Bob is a good guy. Yeah, he can ride with the best of them, but I really enjoy spending time with him He has a very positive outlook on life.” Lester said, “The last few years have been hard, but this makes it all worthwhile. It’s just me against the course.” Lester added. “It’s been great seeing so many people who have had different experiences in their lives, as well as in this country, come together.” Lester is a science teacher at Summerville Middle School. “Without my wife, I don’t think any of this would be possible.” Lester has been married to his wife, Cari, for seven years. He credits her for helping him get through cancer.
