Dr. Mastella Cycles Across the Country!
Dr. Daniel Mastella and his wife, Karen, completed an extraordinary 47-day cycling trek from Portland, Oregon, to Portland, Maine. Their coast-to-coast route covered 15 states, nearly 3,600 miles, and averaged 88 miles of riding per day, with their longest stretch reaching 127 miles.
Once on the road, they faced steep mountain passes, long daily miles, and the mental challenges that come with such an ambitious ride. Karen shared that while some days were especially demanding, many were unforgettable—featuring ideal weather, breathtaking scenery, and the camaraderie of their group.
Along the way, they discovered not only the beauty of the country but also a renewed sense of resilience and teamwork. Karen described gaining confidence in her own toughness, while Dr. Mastella reflected on the shared accomplishment and the perspective the journey provided.
Crossing the finish line in Portland, Maine, marked the end of a remarkable challenge and the celebration of an experience they will carry with them for years to come.
