We're now done with just over a week of biking and I've already completely lost track of what day and time it is. It has been a great first week though. So far we've biked through 6 six states and Washington DC. We've been able to see all of the sights in NYC and DC and I even got to meet Matthew Broderick on the first night! We've been crossing the Appalachians the past few days which is tougher than I could have imagined but I've gotten through it. The generosity of everyone at our stayovers and people we meet while biking really helps me while climbing up mountains. It is also a great feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day to see what we are capable of and to know I was able to bike through the mountains. Now I'm looking forward to the rest of the summer!
