I earned the badge on my way to my Eagle Scout rank. I rode on a mountain bike from Walmart for the 25 mile rides. My dad said he would join me on the 50. The bearings fell out of my mountain bike’s rear cassette and switched to the hybrid bike to finish the route.
one of my favorite merit badges and one I most proud of. I have a few. I was able to earn 2 silver palms and one bronze.
