Coudersport PA ....Hills, hills, and more hills

Today we rode from wellsboro to coudersport Pennsylvania! Although our ride was only 45 miles there were quit z bit of hills! Nothing like the 70 mile day we did with a mountain included. The trip is really fun so far and a great change in pace from wor and school . Although topics from work or school find there way into our riding days. Yesterday I stopped to go to the bathroom at the local tri county electri. Provider and they sure new about the company I work for . They went on about how each year riders stop in to use the restroom! It was afun ride that included ice cream and fun card games after we arrived at our host. Until next time! P.s shout out to sarah Collins for sending me mh first mail drop card!

Lance Armstrong 17 miles - Bike & Build 85 Miles - Point Goes to Bike & Build

So it is the beginning.... and in the beginning my butt is the main topic on my mind. After 5 days of biking mu butt is the sorest part of my body. Not my legs, not my arms but the butt.

We started in providence went through pomfrett CT, granby CT, kent CT, poughkipsey NY, and have temporariliy landed in Binghamton NY. We are lounging in a United Methodist Church which has the first couches we have seen in days! A sweet ping pong table, tv, and several computers thus the reason I am blogging.

The riding to date has been a gradual building of milage each day starting at about 45 and ending with 85 miles today. Although this was the longest day becase of the lack of mountains it was not quite as hard as yesterday.

Send packages of sweets, cliff, bars, and any awesome stickers you would like to see on my bike!

The addresses are here... http://www.bikeandbuild.org/cms/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,347/

Until next time!
Much Love,
