THE ROUTE...updated

On April 14, 2008, we dipped our rear wheels in the Atlantic Ocean in Virginia Beach, VA and headed west along the Blue Ridge Parkway to Asheville, NC. We rode south of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and there our plans derailed. Just before we crossed into Tennessee, Kellea got hit by a car. Though not badly hurt, Kellea's bruised ribs meant she wouldn't be able to bike for over a month. Our ride turned into a car journey, which is documented in the blog below. We tried to carry forward our original intentions of raising funds for two great groups and witnessing a different side of America.

Two quick updates on the update

1. Turns out "bruised and battered but not broken" was not entirely correct -- Kellea's ribs are cracked after all. The prescribed R&R has gone from 4 weeks to 6-8. If anyone is interested in lazy walks or reading in the sun in Grass Valley, she's your gal.

2. A few folks have asked if they can still donate. First, WOW and thanks for asking. Second, yes absolutely! Just use the links to the right of this posting or contact Dianne at (530) 546-5803 if you'd prefer to send a check.
