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!
Today we woke up in our own beds in Catonsville! It was so fun hanging out with all of our friends last night. I could not stop smiling the whole time we were hanging out. Every Thursday night all of our friends get together for House Church (like a Bible study) and it worked out perfectly that we were in town on a Thursday!
We left our house at 9:30am. Mike Z (a good friend from 'The Morning Ride' which is a bike club/group in our area) biked with us all the way to Cambridge and he will be biking with us tomorrow all the way to Ocean City! Even better! He bike the whole thing on a fixie!!!!! So happy about that :)
On our way to Cambridge we all visited my MomMom's house! My parents and sister were all there and we had an amazing brunch feast! My sister made the most amazing pudding ever (even as good as Heather's banana pudding.. and she makes incredible banana pudding). It was great to see my family after not seeing them for 3.5 months! I really missed them.

(Mom and MikeZ hanging out)After we biked over the Bay Bridge Hurricane Ernesto really started to kick in! The winds were measured at 21 mph with 30 mph gusts. Luckily there was a lot of miles that we had the wind at our backs so it was not extremely bad. It was still very stressful to bike in such conditions.
We were greated with a super warm welcome at the Matthews house in Cambridge MD. Jason Matthews and his parents live here. Jason is responsible for our DrinkMoreWater sponsorship. His family also let me stay at their house on the night before my UltraDistance Triathlon that I did last year! They cooked us a huge dinner which we really needed after a hard day of biking.
Tomorrow we bike to Ocean City!!! The trip is almost over!!!

Can't believe tomorrow is the big (official) ARRIVAL!!
Great job, guys! Amazing!
(I got tired riding the bike around the block just now, so it's a little hard to imagine what you've been through. Although at my age, even the yokey part sounds tiring. ;) )
See y'all tomorrow.
