First Day!

Today was the first day to Seattle! We rode 65 miles from Baltimore to York,PA on a gravel nature road which was nice because it was flat. The amount of energy it takes to keep that bike moving, even on a flat road is insane. My body is exhausted, but it is all worth because I just completed a huge milestone already during my trip. I survived the first day. I fell once (minor fall due to clip ins) and almost ran over a garden snake who was trying to cross the road. My butt and triceps and legs and feet are sore but I'm going to get up at 5am tomorrow morning and do it all again. Let those who inspired us to help this cause in the beginning have a lasting affect on us throughout the ride.

Bye Long Island!

Hey Guys! I am very new to Blogger so you have to bare with me. I leave today to go to Baltimore for a dinner with my group and then training. We depart Sunday morning to York, PA and begin our trek across the country!
