Tuesday, September 13, 2005
Ride the East is a 25 day bicycle trip from Portsmouth New Hampshire to St Augustine Florida.
A note to the other riders on the 2005 Ride the East adventure. The photos on the web site are available to you in their full un-edited form. If you want copies, let me know and I'll be happy to share them with you. The ones on the web site have been scaled down so that they can easily be downloaded.
The video clips have been reformatted from AVI format to WMV format and now are considerably smaller and therefore download much faster.
