After a wonderful stay at Morgantown, WV, we set of for Wheeling, WV at 6:30 AM promptly. The day started out with a team stretch before the 76-mile day full of climbs! Though not as steep as the last two days, many in the group were still sore from the previous trek through the Appalachians. Traffic today was crazy, with the riders stopping every few miles through the winding, but incredibly beautiful, roads of West Virginia and Pennsylvania. After some slight confusion over cues (detours that try to take us on the interstate just don't work!), the rest of the ride went wonderfully. Today was possible because of the entire group's effort, climbing through the last of the Appalachians. Our ride today to Wheeling, a town of 30,000 people, was made incredibly special by the portraits event that was scheduled for us by the church. After an incredible dinner provided by the St. John's EP Church in Wheeling, Julianne and Tory gave a presentation on Portraits Project. Afterwards, two portraits were conducted. The team would like to thank both Ruthie McWhorter and Debbie Richardson for telling us their amazing stories about their battles with breast cancer, as well as for taking the time to come to the church and meet us. We especially want to thank everyone who has supported us so far. We wouldn't be able to hold this ride without the help of every person who has donated, given us their story, let us sleep on their floor, or simply given us their appreciation. Much love, Illini 4000
