Back into the mountains we went!

Today I rode with Alberto from Iona and Kevin from Iowa. We climbed out of Uniontown and were instantly into the Appalachian Mountains. We kept a great pace all day, and after 7,000 feet of climbing, and crossing into Maryland, we finally arrived in Cumberland at the local YMCA. The team all took naps on the brand new indoor soccer field that’s turf was installed 3 days ago. It’s amazing the places you can fall asleep after being on the bike for so long.

For dinner we ate with the Cumberland, Maryland Rotary Club. We had an awesome meal of burgers, fried chicken, baked beans, potato salad, and more brownies than one could ever imagine. It was enjoyable to talk with the members of the club, hear their stories, and take advice from them about networking and sustaining relationships.

After dinner we headed back to lodging and did our team gift exchange. We had a lot of fun getting gifts for each other, and I got a new Snuggie! To finish off the night we tied up loose ends programming wise and organizationally and headed to bed.

Thank you for keeping up with my Journey of Hope this summer!

Love & Honor,

Beau

Congratulations, Beau!! Across the continent on two wheels, under your own power. Way to go!! Always remember: Philippians 4:13, "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." And Ohio's motto, "With God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)
