Intermittent internet access is making it difficult to do daily posts and to attach timely photos. On the way into Stockton on Day 2, Tim suffered what should have been a minor fall, but he landed on ribs that he had fractured a few months earlier. He tried valiantly to ride on Day 3, but was in considerable pain, and after a few miles he very regretfully decided he could not continue. This was sad for all, since the original idea for the ride had come from Tim and Rich back in 2008. Since Tim could not continue, his brother John also decided to leave the ride, since he had come out from his home in Cincinnati specifically to ride with his brother. So now it's just Rich and Chuck and me, with Kathy and Cindy in the motor home and Chuck's wife, Karen, in their van.
We made it successfully to Indian Grinding Rock State Historical Park in Pine Grove -- about 65 miles and 2,400 feet of elevation gain. Celia and Marion wondrously brought us homemade fried chicken for dinner!

Sorry to hear about Tim - and a bummer to lose 2 of your number. Looks like you're heading into some real mountains! Have a great Memorial Day ride.
