We rode from the drop off point in Brooklyn to Princeton NJ today. The first hour or so was easy because we took a ferry after 5 miles in NYC, then broke for lunch :)
The hills afterward, despite warnings, were difficult. I did NOT walk at all today, although tomorrow is 74.3 miles!!!!! So who knows what that will bring.
The best part of today was when we all took off together, being able to visually see 180 or so bike riders doing something together gets a lot of outside attention. In a lot of areas where I ride, people don't even look or know to share the road with cyclists- I should bring this gang home for a couple weeks and let that teach them!
One fun stop before I reached Princeton was a park that was the site of the 'martian landing' from the War of the Worlds broadcast. My phone is charging so i will post via instagram after this evening's speakers!
I take all the pictures on my phone, so I may not be able to upload photos to these entries until I'm home or at a real computer.
I LOVE all of the encouragement. keep it coming, let your friends and family know they can still donate!
