Day 1, 2013

First day of riding with the 800 riders of Chapter 1/New Jersey. The day started out dark, cloudy and steady rain. Everyone's spirits were high knowing the importance and meaning of today! The rain stopped befor noon but not before a rider almost was taken out by a deer crossing the street. Scrapes to the rider, who stayed up on the bike, the deer didn't stick around.

The weather broke around noon and we saw lighter clouds and some sun. The towns of Morrison, Bridgewater and Summerset turned out to cheer us on. School, kids chanting "U-S-A, U-S-A..." and slapping our hands when we rode by.

We also had a flyover with the NJ State Police medevac helicopter. A beast of a helicopter that was low enough that we felt the strong rotor wash! Thanks for everyone's continued support.
