New Englanders Clint Valentine, left, and Paul Dorr, who work together on a schooner off the coast of Maine, have just completed a cross-country bicycling trip, all the way to San Diego. Raising roughly $5,000 for breast cancer along the way, the two men, known as Team Bowditch, ended their expedition in Del Mar. Dorr, 48, said biking through one of the coldest winters on record made the trip itself the most memorable part: “It really is the journey and not the destination,” he said. “So much happened during the time we left to get here that when we finally put our front wheels in the Pacific Ocean, it was like, hmm, where’s the band?”
