Illini 4000

First

I do not even know where to begin. The first day riding out of NYC was really awesome. The ride was really fun even with me hitting a dead possum. Then when we were riding in PA it was beautiful, however not even close to as beautiful as VT. Then yesterday we were riding in DE and that was really great since the ride was only 40 miles. We had our first portrait project and that was so awesome to hear this woman\'s story about her fight with breast cancer. I found myself thinking about her constantly today during our 80 mile ride. Today\'s ride was hard but fun. It was hilly and super hot- I got pretty burned. The ride was really pretty but the hills got tiresome after a while- but I have many reasons to keep pedling. Tomorrow we leave for DC and I am really excited not only to be in DC but I will get to meet up with my grandmother, sister, and dad for a bit. That\'s it. Keep sending emails they really make my day!
