Long and beautiful century ride through the foot hills of the Appalachians on our way to Georgia today. It was a tough ride, but I enjoyed it. Breakfast was sponsored by the UAB chapter, and put us all in a great mood to begin with today. We also received a lot of attention today as we traveled through the small towns of Alabama. Apparently, one of the news stations filming our arrival at Samford in Birmingham did a huge story on us, and lots of folks waved, cheered, and wanted to talk to us as we rode today. Now that we are so far from California, its as like our cause is gaining much more credibility. When we arrived at lodging, Carollton High School, we showered very quickly in time to make dinner and a friendship visit with the ARC of Carollton. It was very casual, allowing us acquaint ourselves with some great participants and sponsors. A few of us grabbed some McDonald's before hitting the hay, but we lost an hour crossing into the eastern time zone, causing us to rush to bed. Atlanta tomorrow!
