Correction
The last few lines of a story about a father and son biking across the country inadvertently were cut off in Thursday’s paper. The last paragraph should have said:
“Last summer when we were researching this in Darby (Montana), we were sitting in a restaurant when this guy pulls up on a unicycle,” Hoover said. “And he is pounding the same route from Yorktown, Va., all the way to Montana heading to Oregon on a unicycle. I told Nash at that point if he can do it, we have no excuse.”
Meetings
