The big day.

Kudos and congrats and deep bows and a 21 gun salute to Dave Nagy, Mary Seubert and Joyce Kullman who took off about an hour ago to complete the full 60 miles today. The rest of us will do scattered miles of biking and driving. We'll all gather in Georgetown at 1:30 p.m. to make the final ride to the Russell Senate Building.
We've invited Obama, but we haven't gotten a confirmation call back yet. :-) He's probably busy today.
We are expecting House and Senate leaders, along with staff from NIH and NORD.

It's the culmination of a lot of work on everyone's part. A true team effort with every single contribution from every member making it all work like a well oiled bike chain.

Enough lame metaphors. Time to hit the trail.

Dr. Dietley..if you're reading this blog I'll catch up to you about my knee next week. Tylenol is my best friend this trip.

Keep the rubber side down and if you're driving down Constitution Ave. around 2:30 p.m. today please watch out for 13 bikers along the road. We've made it this far, we want to make it all the way.
