Hi everybody, today is the first day I have been able to get on a computer since the ride started.  The first thing I want to do is thank everyone for their massive support.  The second thing I want to do is to talk a little about the trip so far.

The first few days were crazy with everyone getting used to the scheduel, and the crazy routes through New Jersey.  The first really nice day was when we went through Pensylvania for the first time.  The scenery was beautiful, and there were a ton of hills.  Today was very similar, but longer and hotter.  Fortunately for me, I was driving and didn't need to worry about the temperature.  Right now everyone is getting to know each other better, and getting used to being around the same 20 people all the time.  Now it's time for me to go to sleep, tomorrow is another long ride, and this time I won't be driving.
