Cycle to the Sea 2013, Day 1 is done. We had a great day for riding today. The weather was great, no rain like last year. Micah is doing much better this afternoon. In the rain last year, he got dehydrated and we had a pretty rough night. This year, we had a great ride and learned from our mistakes. We rode with the front pack again this year, total mileage was 55 miles and we averaged 13.8 for the day. Today was one of the best kind of cycling days you could have, uneventful. Couple of chains came off in our pack and one parking brake issue on the less than ideal bumpy roads in SC. We had a lot of new riders this year, both able bodies (AB's) and disabled riders. Several times today it was the AB's that were slowing us up, but we got everything together towards the end.
So far this year, there has been over $56,000 raised through Cycle to the Sea. This will help ASAP continue to provide their services. Thank you all for your support!
Tomorrow, we are looking for another great day. We have Micah's bike and after lunch tomorrow, we plan on having Micah ride his own bike. The back pack is large this year, so that may hold us up some with that.
