This ride was for a lot of people. For me this ride was about taking on a personal challenge and accomplishing it but it was also a very big part of the recovery process for me. As a cancer survivor you can’t escape the constant concern that the cancer may come back or that you may not fully recover. This

We made it! Thanks so much to all our family, friends and supporters! We love you and we couldn’t have done it without you. We’ll post more later. For now, we’re going to get some much needed sleep.

Atlantic City, NJ > Ocean City, MD : 80 miles Ocean City, MD > Exmore, VA : 84 miles We survived another day of heat and rode 84 miles from Ocean City, MD to Exmore, VA. We got an early start and got 40 miles in before lunch, not bad considering we had to stop to fix a flat again.

Read MoreThe big ride kicks off bright and early on Thursday from Beverly Farms, MA. We’ve spent three months getting everything together and we can’t thank you enough for the generous support up to this point.
