The purpose of this blog is to chronicle a bike ride from Key West, Florida to Syracuse, NY to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). In the US alone, 80 people are diagnosed with Juvenile (Type 1) Diabetes EVERY DAY and one of them is my niece Katie. Please support JDRF by making a donation below.

#4 - North Carolina
Made it into North Carolina yesterday but not without a struggle. Only 61 miles but probably the hardest day yet; strong headwind the whole way. Stayed in Holden Beach at a beautiful beach house overlooking the dunes and the ocean. Will try to get some pictures but I'm sure they won't do it justice. The house belongs to Patty and Skip Klapheke. For you Syracuse folks, Patty is Laurie Ascenzo's sister. Thanks Laurie, Patty, and Skip. Spent last night plotting a route to Charlottesville. Looks like I'll be headed up rt 421 cutting between Greensboro and Raleigh. Won't miss South Carolina. Met some nice people but the roads were awful. They apparently don't believe in shoulders. So far North Carolina has been better; hope it lasts.
