Ari's Angels - Wednesday, June 20th

Hi friends,

Writing to you all tonight from Lancaster Pennsylvania! John Hardy and I will tag team the 45 mile ride from here to the Delaware Memorial Bridge. From there the two Bill’s will shoot the 60 mile run across South Jersey and we’ll all ride in the last 15 miles to Atlantic City tomorrow morning hopefully around 9:00 am plus or minus two hours. It’s been an amazing 24 hours, and I’m sure the next 24 will be equally exciting. I’m really going to miss the friends and this routine we’ve slowly settled into over the past eight days. Last night we rode through some heavy rain into and out of Parkersburg for several hours. John and I did a couple legs that had a total elevation climb of 7000 feet early in the evening arriving in Grafton West Virginia. The two Bill’s worked even harder to get us through. West Virginia was the best and worst of the trip. The scenery and weather improved and the climbs and descents felt like they were straight up and down, and went on forever. I’d do Colorado again physically, instead of West Virginia any day!. Pennsylvania was very nice and scenic although not without its own hills and valleys. We even went through Gettysburg and did a rider exchange in the park.

Riding for a cure! . . . .and to see those big glass casinos in Atlantic City tomorrow morning.
