Yorktown, VA to Charles City, VA – 43 mi, 11.2 mi/h ave, 989ft elevation gain

Day 0 is in the books. It exceeded my expectations 1000%. I met so many incredible people. I was able to help 2 cyclists. One with nutrition and one with hydration. An adventure cycling tour guide saw me and stopped. He told me he was dropping his tour off at the beach where I dipped and when he saw me again he wanted to know my story. 43.12 miles. Goal was 25. Tomorrow is the official start date and the 5th anniversary of my accident. I am kicking traumas butt. Enjoy the photos.
