CHANCE WALTERS/STAFF
Overland American Challenge pedals through Hamilton
Eleven students and two leaders from Massachusetts passed through Hamilton on their voyage from Savannah, Ga., to Santa Monica, Calif., on Tuesday, July 1. The group is associated with Overland, an accredited summer program for kids ranging in age from 11-18 years old. There is no support team accompanying the riders, as each cyclist has his or her own clothing and gear attached to the bicycle. The six-week trip across the United States began on Saturday, June 21, and will end on Sunday, Aug. 3. By the time the bicycle riders reach Santa Monica, they will have traveled 3,000 miles.
