A CENTURY for Kenny's Half-Century












Well, the first day of the trip was just a LITTLE longer than expected; it turned out that we did 100 miles! How? Well, it was a combination of slight misreading of the maps, getting lost a few times, and general...whatever. In any event, we made it; everyone did a great ride, despite fairly high heat, slightly undulating hills, and the fact that the last 10 miles seemed to keep going, and going, and going. We had dinner at the General Lafayette Brewery, and are expecting to be asleep - fairly early. Our cycling mate Tim is on his way from NYC to join us for tomorrow's ride, which will take us through Valley Forge National Park, before heading out to Lancaster, PA. We'll let you know how it goes, at the end of tomorrow. Check out some of these pictures of today's trip! We should explain a few of the pictures: there are two from dinner, with Darren and Forest (the young man who is driving our support vehicle); two nice shots crossing the Delaware, from Lambertville to New Hope; a shot of Ken without shoes, since we had to cross the river on foot; two pictures of us crossing a smaller river earlier in the trip; and, finally, a great shot from 34th and Ninth Avenue, where we asked a guy on the street to snap a shot for us.
