Thank You !

I just wanted to add a quick note to thank everyone for their messages and comments. Your words are fueling me everyday as I work my way across this great country. I take nothing for granted; I know how fortunate I am. I count on you not only for my charities but to be with me in spirit everyday of this ride. I look forward to the days ahead and hope you are all doing well.

Update: REY DID IT! Friday, July 25, at 12:42 p.m., Rey arrived at Little Island Park in Virginia Beach, Va., completing his 3,700 mile journey. He was greeted by friends, co-workers and a group of more than 20 children from three local Boys & Girls Clubs, who thanked him for his fundraising. Congratulations to Rey for an incredible ride!

July 20th — Booneville, KY to Pippa Passes, KY — 71 miles Eastern Kentucky roads are narrow, and the truck traffic is increasing. It is increasingly tough to navigate these roads as we have a large number of rights and lefts getting to the VA border, which is distracting to riding. The Appalachian Mountains are small in size here but steep. The grades are becoming more severe, and the climbs are getting longer. I can feel that VA border now as we are about 60 miles away. I am more aware of staying focused on the road in front of me, especially with all this truck traffic. 5 hours on the bike today.
