This past weekend, the riders of the 2012 Bike America team had our last training ride of the year. After a windy 90 miles out to Kickapoo State Park and through Indiana, we spent the night at Faith Church in Fairmount, IL. We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to all of the people there who helped us out; we can't thank you enough for all of your kindness and generosity.This year was the first time that we had our a stayover for our overnight ride, and it was a great decision! The team was able to conduct four portraits of local community members. We really appreciate the openness of all of these people and their willingness to share their stories with us. It is these stories that provide the fuel for this ride - your strength and courage motivates us to keep going!
