Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this. I couldn't have done it without you. To be able to do something so many said I couldn't

Well, it's been ten days, 665 miles, two broken spokes, multiple close calls with vehicles, dog chases, one flat, but one incredible journey

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

Tonight is also the last night ill be spending in a hotel. 🙏

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

77 miles down. Thank you day nine for completely draining me. BUT tomorrow is the long haul to PANAMA! 88 miles. This should be interesting.

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

This concludes day 8. 50 more miles down for a total of almost exactly 500! These next two days will be the final push for PCB!

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

Can't believe it's already day seven and another 73 miles down. Stopped in Sylacauga for the night. Shorter ride planned for tomorrow.

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

Headed for Sylacauga, AL tomorrow, to tack on another 70 miles!

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

Started the day off a little rocky with a broken spoke. But got it fixed and still managed to make a 52 mile ride for a total of 378 so far.

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

First mechanical difficulty of the trip- broken spoke. Luckily there's a bike shop in this town.

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

Stopped in Huntsville, AL for the night. Riding 50 miles to Oneonta tomorrow and then we'll see where it goes from there!

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

Meant to post this before. Here's the group of cyclists I met on day 2. Will, Katrina, Casey, and Anthony.

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

Not going to reach Huntsville tonight. Staying in Fayettsville tonight and will ride the 30 miles to Huntsville tomorrow.

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

Not much further until Alabama!

[RideforLaura @RideforLaura]

Shooting for Tennessee, Alabama border tomorrow and then starts the long haul.

Day 3 is done. Not as many miles due to the rain, but it's 53 less than before.
