Bike through the Appalachians...check. The hardest week of the trip is over. The steep mountains that pushed everyone of us to our limits is now behind us. This was the hardest physical thing I have ever done. I could not have done it without my teammates. Everyone pushes each other, and motivates each other to keep on peddling, even when you think you have used every last ounce of energy. This trip has been amazing, more than anything I ever imagined. So far lots of funny stories, and cool experiences. I'll post some of those later. Its so cool how much we have seen in only a week and a half. Day 1 was NYC, and a short 3 days later we were in Amish Country, Pa. Through Pittsburg, and into the rural countryside/rolling hills of W Virginia. The people we have seen so far have been so nice to us, donating food, letting us use their hoses, and genuinely caring about our cause and trying to help us out. From city dwellers, to amish families, people of all backgrounds. It is very cool to be apart of this cause, we have raised over 121,000, and raised the spirits of so many more.Thank you to everyone who has donated to me, and has donated to the team. We are really doing something special, and it is your caring and support that is fueling this effort.
