First Century

After our event day in Columbus, OH, the team was ready to tackle a 104 mile ride into Richmond, IN. With such a long day ahead of us, the team woke up early to get a jump on the day. Clear skies and cool weather felt great as many of us completed our first centuries. Current rider Matt Soltys dedicated this ride to his friend’s mother Kathy Kuntzi, who recently passed away from pancreatic cancer. The wonderful people like Kathy are why we ride and our hearts go out to the Kuntzi family. After the ride, our amazing hosts at First English Lutheran Church made us a delicious dinner and dessert. Many teammates also treated themselves to frozen custard after dinner from an ice cream shop in Richmond. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing and watching a documentary about Illini 4000 called “What People Do”. We are ready to continue our journey through Indiana this week.
