LIFE ACROSS AMERICA 2010

Wow! Another amazing day of cycling … 40 miles in some of the hottest weather we have encountered so far on this trip … according to Brenda’s on board bike computer, it was 119.7 degrees on the highway. (see FB pic)

I want to compliment our young BGC St Lucie Cty, FL, team members, who cycled today without even a murmur … even, in such extreme weather conditions. [of course, we stopped often for rest breaks, water breaks, and "cool off" breaks to make sure everyone (including the adults) were well hydrated!]

We got some great pictures today … if you get a chance, share them with your friends, if they are on FB or at this link:

We finally made it to the Brunswick Beaches Camp Resort, about 8 miles outside of Shallotte, NC, and the main request today was that it had to have a pool!

I would like to thank our police escorts today… they were from Sheriff Ingram’s Brunswick County SO, and a real credit to their department and their community:

Sgt. Kevin Long, Cpl. Chris Raynor, Deputy Matt Chism, Deputy Jeremy Ferguson and Sheriff John Ingram for his deputies community relations attitude and their professional demeanor.

Thank you and until we meet again … “Stay safe out there!”

Well, it’s about time to do the daily maintenance and upkeep of the body … shower, shave, eat, and relax!

Talk to you tomorrow!
