Battling diabetes is something that is close to our hearts since Adam has Type I Diabetes. AFC's mission at it's core is to raise awareness, show other diabetics that anything is possible, and to do anything to combat diabetes!
Oh yes!!!
The final day of packing up the car, getting on the bikes in the rain, heat, cold, wind, hurricanes! The final day on the road away from all our friends and family.
We stayed at the Matthew's house in Cambridge the night before. Mr. and Mrs. Matthews were incredible hosts! They hosted me last year on the night before my UltraDistance Triathlon (which took place in Cambridge). We were discussing with Mr. Matthews our future plans for AFC, which include the possibility of becomming a non-profit organization. He was very intrested in helping us achieve that goal! Who knows where that will take AFC!
(Mr. and Mrs. Matthews are on the left...Mike Z is wearing the yellow jersey...
Jason DrinkMoreWater is on the right in black)
We found the Matthews through thier son Jason, who works for DrinkMoreWater (a sponsor of AFC). He was going to go biking with us into Ocean City but the bad weather kept him away. He has to be extra careful not to get sick because he is getting MARRIED very very soon!! CONGRATS JASON!
(Jason DrinkMoreWater!!!)The hurricane had pretty much passed entirely, the weather was a million times better than yesterday. Mike Z and Adam's brother Alex (Adam's brother) both joined us heading out from Cambridge! I was extremely happy because both Mike Z and Alex (aka baby sugar) were riding fixed gear bikes! That made 5 fixies total! Soooo happy!
(There he is...Good Looking Alex Driscoll)
(Fixies on the road..Notice it was cold enough to wear jackets)
At lunch Alex switched with Mike Caputi (our roomate also know as Weezal) so that Alex drove their car and Weezal biked into Ocean City with us.
(Jiminy Christmas!!!Only 4 miles left!!!)
Seeing that Ocean City sign brought us total unrestrained joy!!! wweeeeeeeeeeeeee!
(AFC Air High Five!)
(AndyK was so happy he just had to dance!)
(AFC Airplane!?)We finally arrived at Shenanigan's Irish Pub where the owner, Greg, had 2 hotel rooms waiting for us.
