Pedaling Parsons Monday July 7

Pedaling Parsons Monday, July 7, 2008Arrived at Great Falls UMC 12:30 AM, three hours and thirty minutes past my usual bed time. The church provided a great breakfast for us. Who said, "Real men don't eat quiche?" It was great. The pastor's daughter is biking across the country with "Bike Build" to raise money for Habitat for Humanity.Monday was a day of mud. We decided to re-name the C & O Towpath Trail to the RRR trail (Rocks, Roots, and Ruts). But who's complaining? We got to Harper's Ferry W. Va. with no rain, and we got to meet some new friends along the way. Tom, Penny, and Jacob from Dayton are riding the trail from Pittsburgh to D.C. Tom made this special bike to carry Penny as well as a trailer with all their gear. They are camping along the way. We invited them to join us for lunch and they did.

All the rides are doing great.
