Gary Johnson plans 458-mile New Hampshire bicycle ride

Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson announced Friday that he will be taking his Republican presidential campaign on a 6-day, 458-mile bike odyssey across New Hampshire.

Johnson, who has been excluded from several televised debates, is counting on the early primary state to raise his campaign’s fortunes.

The trip will occur between October 5 and October 11. Johnson will host town hall meetings with local residents in the evenings. (RELATED: Gary Johnson has his own plan for balancing budget)

Johnson is inviting supporters to contact his campaign if they are interested joining the bike trip, dubbed the “Ride for Freedom.”
