So how about them Amish?

Alright, so I've been hanging out with the Amish in Lancaster County, PA for the past week. It was nice to stay and visit with one of my favorite families, the Snaders, and bike smooth rolling hills and not East Tennessee "mountains". This week I've worked on an Amish farm (Hey there, Verna and Rueben Stoltzfus, I'm going to guess you will never read this), visited Hersey Park, enjoyed a camp fire with the locals and ate some great Pennsylvania Dutch cookin (Thanks Gram and Pop!!!).

Later this evening (Saturday) I will be taking the mid-night train to Boston and will join my Bike and Build team in Portsmouth tomorrow. We will have a 2 day orientation and begin biking on Tuesday! I have to admit that I'm curious to see how my cycling skills compare to the other riders but.... I don't mind being the caboose.
