Merritt and her mother Libbie Feldner welcome Libbie's Uncle Bill Lester, who spent the last month bicycling 1,700 miles from Evergreen, Colo. to McLean. Lester started the journey on Sept. 2 and traveled the whole journey by himself, riding approximately 60 miles each day. He made this long journey because he wanted to see if he could make the trip east for his 50th high school reunion in Summit, N.J. And, he did. “Uncle Bill” has been an avid cyclist for years and has ridden through Europe.
