The 2009 Rally Across America team saw the sunrise from the interstates of Atlanta this morning. INTERSTATES?!?! No, we weren't riding our bicycles on the interstate - we are driving up to New York City to begin the Rally Across America tour there.
Our first stop was Joe Gibbs Racing outside of Charlotte, NC. After touring the impressive facility, we met with JD Gibbs, whose son Taylor has leukemia.
Joe Gibbs was having a book signing of his newly released Game Plan for Life, so of course we stopped by to meet him and he thanked us for what we are doing for kids like his grandson.
After squeezing back into the car - which was even tighter now with four new books - we started the PB&J assembly line. After Michael and Jai carefully crafted six delicious PB&J sandwiches, we quickly devoured them and got on the road to Raleigh, NC. Soon we will be joining a local cycling club for an evening ride before heading to our Raleigh host family. Tonight the team will be riding in memory of Rally Kid Brittany.

Rally On!
Claire, Magan, Michael, and Jai

You all are doing such a good thing, our prayers are with you and we are sure you are touching many hearts on your way....thank you for making us all aware of childhood cancer and its victims....keep up the good cycling!
Through my membership in PAC2, I just learned of your efforts and want to say BRAVO!! You inspire me, and if I was not trying so darn hard to be a single mom working 2 jobs, I'd join you. May you encounter many blessings on your roadways.
