105 miles later.

We did it! The ride was actually a lot of fun. We rode miles and miles of great countryside, met interesting people from all around the state, ate some great food and drank like fish when the ride was done. Thanks everyone for your support. I especially want to thank my sponsors:

  • Mom and Tony
  • Dad and Donna
  • Aunt Nancy and Uncle Bill
  • My sister Leah and her husband Joe
  • Matt "Me arm hurts" Skopal
  • Jamie and Parrish Lee
  • Sarah's Aunt Sharon and Uncle Randy

I could not have done the ride without you guys. I offer a sincere thank you. And you helped out a great cause in the process!

and stepped on a nest of fire ants... They are QUICK!


Rest stop at 42 miles.




Lunch at 50 miles. The food was so good and we were starving.




Nate went the full 100 on Saturday... this is him right after crossing the finish line.

They closed off a major highway for the bike race.. it was interesting riding your bike on an interstate with no traffic.




Jeremy getting his priorities straight.






Heading back home. In Puerto Rico, the middle finger is a sign of respect. Thanks Tito!
