Eric plans on stopping by Wagener next Tuesday. He rode along with the Bicentennial Wagon train in 1976. Wagener is the home of SC Bicentennial Wagon.

When he was 20 years old, Eric Conrad rode his bike through all 13 of the original states to celebrate the American Bicentennial. Now, 50 years later, Conrad, 70, will take a similar tour of the eastern seaboard to celebrate the 250th Birthday of the United States
