My grandfather, Charles Duprez was the NY Times Photographer for the 1908 NY to Paris Race. He was assigned to the Thomas Flyer. The photos of the race you see, from Ny to San Francisco were taken by Charles. The 6 teams left New York City in February and traveled west. They dealt with heavy snow, no roads, no maps, no gas stations, mud and more. If they could travel to Paris with those conditions, YOU can make it easily. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
