Wheel Dip

Nags Head has been our host location since our route began three years ago. 8:30 am we "officially" begin our trip from east to west coast by dipping our back wheels into the Atlantic waters.

Before leaving, the mayor of Nags Head remarked that the times ahead may prove difficult, but the causes that we fight for demand it. It's amazing how a group of people with a common goal can come together to make such a difference.

66 miles we bike towards Swan Quarters and then 34 miles the next day (Monday) towards Belhaven. Our receptions at these local communities have been nothing but warm and friendly. After riding through cold weather, rain, and strong winds you realize how much hot showers and home made meals are really worth.

One of my fellow riders, Kelly, said that one of her goals is to step out of her comfort zone. Sometimes it's necessary for us to move away from the comfortable to realize what impact we are truly capable of.
