Philadelphia to Newark

As we continue our cross-country trek, we have arrived in our third state, Delaware! Our first Sunday ride as as team has led us to Newark. The team has been fortunate enough to eat dinner and spend time with the wonderful people from the Salem Methodist Church. After another day of riding, there are few things as comforting as being able to sit down and enjoy a hot, fresh meal that was generously prepared for us.

It is these repeated acts of generosity we receive from people who have never met us that truly makes this ride special, and it these acts of kindness that continually fill our heats and minds with unabiding warmth.

Next up, Baltimore!
