SAMMYRIDES DAILY BLOG APRIL 28, 2011

Today was truly an exhausting day for the riders.  It was a  long day of biking that took over 6 and a half hours from Chiefland, Florida to Inverness, Florida. 
The riders biked through lots of wind and threatening storm clouds, which thankfully, didn't materialize.  Still, however, the heat and humidity took its toll on each of them.   Once they reached their hotel, they showered, got a bite to eat and went to sleep....that's how tired they were.  This has become their general routine these last few days....leave early in the morning....bike, bike, and more biking.....eat... get to their motel...shower....eat.....go to bed for the night.  
Tomorrow they will leave early for Dade City, Florida and at long last, Tampa on Saturday, where their last stop will be visiting children at St. Joseph Hospital to meet more special little heroes.   From Tampa, they'll be biking to Sun City Center where lots of hugs and cheers will be waiting for them.   They are all ready to get back home to their families....they can taste it, it's so close now!   The excitement is building for them as well as for all of us who will be there waiting for them. 
From Inverness, Florida, Michael, Adolf, Mike B. and John, send their love and best wishes to you all!
