We got to Columbus OH on Thursday after leaving Cincinnati in a storm. Thunder & lightening in the morning meant we had to drive a while before it was safe to bike. We still rode a couple of hours in the rain before it cleared & turned sunny in the afternoon.
On arriving, we went right to Cap City diner for a happy hour with the team & Columbus-based friends & family. The next morning, we all met at Christian's & biked a few blocks over to the OSU School of Medicine for a Global Health Day with speakers, food, etc.
This morning was our Solidarity ride. We had 2 routes of 20 & 40 miles. Great support & turnout with about 90 riders signing up to join us. This was a great turnout for a couple of reasons. There was a major charity walk & another bike event at the same time. Also, the weather was threatening, but held up & we stayed dry & enjoyed the rides.
Tonight we're being treated to a cookout at Clare's house. Tomorrow we leave for Athens, OH. Monday we'll cross into West Virginia & arrive in DC on Friday. I've only got 6 more riding days, plus 1 more support day & the DC Solidarity ride to go. It's hard to believe we've come so far & have so little time left together. On the other hand, it's been 2 months & I can't wait to see my wife, my kids, my family & friends again.
I promise more pics as we get into the Appalachians. --Steve

Say hi to those WVA "mountains" for me - nothing like the Rockies though... Enjoy your last week. Hard to believe it's almost over. Carol
