I just want to say "Thank You!" to the many people that have helped me along the way.  From the little things like giving me a drink of water to encouraging me on my ride.  You have no idea how much even all the "be carefuls" have meant!  Thank you all!

Special thanks go to:

• Dave at Eastern Mountain Sports in Peterborough, HM:  Dave replaced my wornout tire (down to the threads), fixed my odometer, and got me back on the road early in the tour.  Thanks Dave!
• Jessica and crew at Spoke & Trail in Mobile, AL: They fixed my flat tire by replacing the tube with a heavy duty one.  I have not had a flat since!  Thanks guys!
• Young man on Tour De Cure route in Westerville, OH: I don't know his name, but thanks for getting a bottle of water for the young lady I walked the rest of the race with that was having a tough time.  That was very kind!
