It took an average of five weeks to make the trip, averaging 100 miles a day. Many participants are retired people.

DEAR DIANE: My boyfriend broke up with me after four months. I was pretty hurt and shocked by it. He said the reason was because he was going to be gone all of the summer in another state. I realize now that he knew this when he asked me out, but didn’t bother to tell me about it until a week before he left. I felt really used. I had'gotten pretty intimate with him while we were going out, and I thought he meant it when he said, “I love you.” He says he wants to stay friends, and do things together with this other couple we used to double with. I told him how I felt about what he’d done, and that I didn’t think he should call anymore because if I’m going to be seeing other people and trying to get over him, I’ll just get all upset about him again every time he calls. My friends think I'm being selfish by not staying friends with him because I still like him, and we both got along together so well. Am I being selfish? CONFUSED DEAR CONFUSED: I think you have every right to feel hurt by what happened. After all, he did lead you on. Personally, I don’t think there is any friendship since it all seems to have been based upon a deception in the first place. As for your friends, I wouldn’t worry about what they have to say. While they can offer advice or opinions, they don’t have to live your life. You do. Thus, the next time they venture an opinion, simply thank them for their interest, but let them know that you are more than capable of making your own decisions. If you decide to see the young man, do yourself a favor and don’t allow the relationship to revert to its former intimate terms. That isn’t necessary to carry on a friendship.
