Lori, Jason and Del will attempt to ride across 48 US states and all 10 Canadian provinces in a 20,000 mile tour that is sure to raise eyebrows and awareness. Dr. Tondora will accompany them in a chase vehicle, keeping them healthy along the way. They will be speaking at scheduled events along the way, sharing tips on how to Traction
