Hey everyone, I just thought I would let you know that I am in Hartford CT, and will be in Boston very soon.  I have actually been in the area for a few days, because I realized that I was a little ahead of schedule, and since I can’t leave Boston until saturday, I have been doing some sight seeing.  Last night I camped in the american legion state forest here in CT.  I deffinately will be in need of a new rim for my bicycle too, since I pulled a spoke through the rim, and a couple of others got stripped off.  but no matter.  I also have been working up a plan to start a amature cycling team, to compete on the circuit, so if anyone is interested in being a part of that please let me know.  I will be starting a new website for that when I get home, and it will be posted.   I really want to thank everyone who has helped make this trip possible.  There have been so many people I have met along the way that have been exceptionally nice, and many more that have made an on the spot donation, or bought me a meal, or comped my hotel stay, or let me set up camp in their yard.  even something as simple as saying good luck is greatly appreciated.  I want you all to know how much it means to me that you have taken the time to check out this web site, because if you stop, just for a second and think about what I am doing, if even the thought to help someone else out has crossed your mind, or if you are a relative/friend/are a hemophiliac yourself, or anyone else with any kind of disability, and you feel inspired to do something good in the comunity, then that makes this all completly worth it to me.  and I have to be honest, this trip totally rocked as it is.  Thank you all once again.
