Leaving Minneapolis

We're getting ready to leave Minneapolis after a long and enjoyable stay. Mason had to fly to his sister's wedding in Maine, so we've been hanging out since last Wednesday. Congrats to Leslie and Jason Beck!

The Radisson on the U. of Minnesota campus has been great, although we're going to have to live like homeless bums to make it to Maine with any money whatsoever. I definitely have regrets about eating at Applebees 6 times because it was 200 ft from the room....ahhhhh... We have to get out of here and get back to eating healthy food.

Thanks to Christine Ratcliffe from the MS foundation for spreading info on our ride and hooking us up with people to meet/help along the way. Her efforts are greatly appreciated - we have a hard enough time sorting out our bikes, food, where we're going, where we're camping - it's nice to have a little help.

And also thanks to Amber at vidshadow for hooking us up with a camera and providing an entertaining way to raise money.

We're out of here. We added more photos on our page so check them out!

Hi Don. I see you that you saw my post about you guys on the MS World message board. I'm trying to get the word out about what a great thing you guys are doing(since I can't donate $, I'm trying to spread the word!)I also posted a bulletin on My Space.
Hope you get some more donations!!
Stay strong.

Hi all,

You guys are amazing in that you have persevered over the lengthy and at times grueling miles. I imagine each of you have grown immensely from within as it has just been you and nature a lot of the way. What a way to build character. I'm proud of you guys and when you get to Bar Harbor, somebody there needs to buy you a 5 course lobster dinner and beer of your choice. Tell them I said so! I'm thinking I can mail the 3D Slides to you there so please let me know an address to send them to in Bar Harbor. Thanks,

Phil
