A taste of home - I4K does DC

Yesterday afternoon, as my group rode down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the White House, it finally hit me that what I had been envisioning for months had become a reality. As a student at George Washington University, I am one of I4K's off-campus riders this summer. I spent much of the past spring training for the ride on the very same streets we rode into the city on yesterday, and getting to ride those streets as a part of the actual journey was amazing. It seems crazy to me that in the past five days, we've ridden our bikes from New York City to DC, but I know that the next 68 have so much more in store for us. I'm excited that we've made it here, but I'm even more excited to see where we'll go from here.
