We are loading all the stuff for the ride from DC to Pittsburgh that begins on Wednesday morning. Getting bikes checked and putting the gear together. We have already raised $3,000 for the Jack and Bobbye Salt fund to benefit the Winston-Salem Symphony Endowment and look forward to adding more to this total for the 7 day ride. Barbara is driving the support vehicle (much praise to her for this!) and the riders are friends from around the country including a two who rode across the US last year. We'll drive to DC Tuesday morning, check out the starting point with Ralph and Tom, stay with our daughter and her family Tuesday night and pedal up the C&O starting Wednesday morning. Wynn will join up with us on day 3 in Hagerstown. When we finish on July7 we'll have covered more than 320 miles plus some side trips to Civil War sites and other scenic and historic locations enroute.
I'll try to post at least once a day with some pictures so check back...and give to the Endowment fund in honor of a wonderful couple who have supported and volunteered for the Symphony for years.
