Valley forge. Last push. Ain't making it by nine...

Got a call from the Tressler brother. 28:27. Egads.

Breakfast in Chambersburg.

The oasis of Breezewood! 24 hour truck stop Perkins. time for a milshake.

Miles of tailwinds. Almost to bedford. Going to be a fast year.

Somerset about mile 120 or so. Lots of rain, sun is just peeking out now. First Sheetz stop! Fast group of riders this year, hanging at the back of the pack.

Over 20 riders starting. Departing shortly.

Well look at this, I can post via text message. Expect increasingly incoherent updates.

Last minute stuff

Ride STARTS at 5:00 AM at the fountain in Point State Park.

Neutral roll out until we get off 837 and onto the new trail. We will be rolling out a bit slower to make sure we don't drop anyone.

Follow the route. If you get off route, return to the route where you left it.

Call or text to (4one2)980-one219 when you finish if you want your time listed in the annals of CtC.

And of course: No support. Meaning bring what you need to buy/scrounge it along the way.

Less than a week!

Feeling ready?
