Day 35 - Easter Ride on the way!! Little Rock to Brinkley AK. Farewell and thanks @dam993tt you’ll be missed. Welcome to the adventure @hermo8 @kcurran09 Engs, and Coach Benson!!! #rideforparalysis @califinn @nextstepla
Day 33- Mountain Harbor to Hot Springs... This rainy, bad weather day is dedicated to @sandygoodman Thank you for your generosity and support! We had some intense thunder storms all night and it was supposed to rain all day. We saw a small window in the AM and left our cabin in a light rain. We ended up getting pretty lucky as it never got as bad as expected. None the less, I was covered in muddy water. The ride was pretty sketchy...there were basically no shoulders, and the car/truck traffic was bad. We arrived safely at our haunted hotel in Hot Springs. I am excited to check out this quirky town. Thanks again Sandy! #rideforparalysis #makeitrain @califinn @andersonbell25 @dam993tt @freshaircrewfilm

Day 28-OKC to Seminole (60mi) It was great to have @lasmoffat on the road with us today on the @super73 along with our dear friend and new team member @dam993tt ! It was not the most scenic ride but, it was still a great day. We saw a car wreck right in front us, got chased by some dogs, Susan sprayed herself and Moose accidentally with bear spray, but otherwise, a pretty smooth ride. @andersonbell25 @freshaircrewfilm #rideforparalysis @califinn
