Well, we survived our first trek! We all met last night in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania and camped there at the state park. Who knew it took a Uhaul trailer to carry all the gear needed for such an expedition? Chef Daddy Hammon was kind enough to tow it along behind his vehicle for the week.
We started out mid-afternoon after spending the morning getting our bikes ready, doing last minute adjustments and prepping for the big trip. Today we rode 30 miles, not counting the crazy 5 miles of hills to get out of the park and onto the trail.
We made it the whole way without any major breakdowns or flat tires....success!
Tonight we're camping at one of the world's best campgrounds...primitive sites on one side of the river but if you ride your bike a mile out, you can get to hot showers, a bike wash, and wireless internet.
Chef Daddy Hammon lived up to his name and made Cajun grilled salmon, rice pilaf, and fresh corn on the cob for dinner, following and appetizer course of chicken salad on pretzel crackers with cheese and crackers. Needless to say, this is some of the best camp food we've ever eaten!
Tomorrow is our biggest day. We'll ride 72 miles to Paw Paw, West Virginia. Wish us luck.

Sounds like you are eating well but earning every bite on the tough trail.
Things are fine here and we are all thinking of you.
Stay safe and enjoy the ride. KH
