Main characters of this story are solely fictional. Other characters, except for June Curry, the "Cookie Lady" and the "Dragon Lady, are fictional in their names but were created by the author fictionalizing encounters with cycling enthusiasts met by the author on the actual bike route and their names have been changed for protection of their identities.
