Unfortunately I was not able to talk with Jackie this evening because I was in meetings and the cell reception in the area is very limited so Jackie had limited opportunity to call before getting to bed early. This might be in part because the majority of people in the area are Amish. Also, the group is staying at a Mennonite summer camp approximately 50 south of Lancaster, PA. From the message that I got from Jackie, riders had the option of paying $6 in order to stay in dormitory style rooms for the evening which Jackie immediately accepted (rightfully so).
Today was the longest day of the ride and with this behind them the riders are almost two-thirds of the way through the ride. I know based on a text message from Jackie that one of the highlights today was an ice cream break at Strausburg Creamery. I am looking forward to hearing more about riding through Amish country and crossing my fingers that the next two days of riding go well for Jackie and everyone on the ride!
If you would like more details on the ride the staff of Climate Ride are posting occasionally to Twitter and keeping blogs and photos which can be connected to through Twitter.
