Hey All! We kicked off our first bike day today with a splash as we dipped our back tires into the Atlantic Ocean. Followed by our traditional first day devotion, "God´s Bicycle" (made famous by Tony Campbell on the inaugural bike trip).
After leaving the stop light ridden blocks of the city behind us we headed off across the Pine Barrens and into some adventures.The roads were smooth, the shoulders wide, and the wind minimal…our main obstacles? The turns! Some of our speedier riders missed some turns and added some extra miles onto their rides, but don´t feel too bad for them; those fast people can handle an unexpected 68 mile ride!
