So we made it to DC! So far we have seen numerous states that I have never been to like New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Washington DC. The trip has been amazing and the riders have become close friends so quickly. Getting to meet locals from each town has been a highlight of the trip because each community is so unique. While the ride has definitely been tough at times my team members have remained supportive and have made each ride much easier. I look forward to continuing my journey with the Illini 4000 and continuing to hear each community's story along the way.
