    Made it!

    Neil B had to bow out of the ride after a fall, but he made it pretty damn far, riding 90 miles on a broken rib.

    Neil and Judy followed me in a car, in my mad dash to cover the last 100 miles to DC in one day. They made sure I ate properly, didn't overheat, and drank a lot of water.

    Thanks again to everyone who sent donations - I exceeded my target of $1000 for epilepsy research. There are a lot of people who made this ride possible, and thank you to everyone involved!

    I have many more pics to sort through, and a journal as soon as I can get it all finished. I filled many notebook pages that I have to type up and edit.

    Great to see you made it. The C&0 trail was a little rougher than I expected, especally after the rain.
    Sorry to hear about Neil's rib. That had to hurt.
    Well Nice job.

    Dennis O'Neil met at River Edge Camp Ground.

    I'd imagine it hurt quite a bit; it's pretty amazing that he was able to keep going for the next two days. How was the rest of your ride?

    I hope you never find out how much a fractured rib hurts, Neil. :-)
