Hi all! Day three has begun, but I am going to go over some highlights from yesterday first. Aside from the camaraderie and amazing stories shared during this ride, there is also so much beautiful scenery to be seen and historical landmarks to take in.
During the American Revolutionary War, Poughkeepsie was spared from battle and became the 2nd capital of New York after Kingston was burned by the British.
Here’s something really awesome that Greg passed along to me. Above are the detailed stats from yesterday’s ride. It shows a total ascent of 2,526 ft, which is incredibly impressive! Greg covered over 76 miles yesterday- Way to go!
Now… onto day three! In case you missed the tracking link, here it is once more: https://livetrack.garmin.com/session/c4ddd1f2-f386-4da1-acfb-4e8d4041e886/token/75C3A6E568BF5055BE5E607EC4B5AE82
Again, Greg was up in time to catch the sunrise, today from Rhinebeck! Greg has shared with me that today is the day with the most climbing. He is beginning to feel sore at this point in the journey, and I’m sure as everyone knows with this heat wave going on- its HOT. Let’s continue to lift his spirits and cheer Greg on and encourage him through his ride!
The orange arrows are how riders navigate if they don’t have a computer. They put them out every morning and pick them up in the afternoon. Pretty neat!
Today’s rest stop had PB&J and PB& Nutella sandwiches…
… And ice water soaked towels for the riders.
Today I want to invite anyone who has been following along with Greg’s journey to share stories in the replies of how cancer has affected your lives. Family, friends or loves ones.
