Glad to see you're still strong. Saw some very high max speeds. Middlegate wasn't good enough to say "it's not so bad," was your take.
Keep riding with the wind at your back. You can't miss it

Hey Joel
I never knew an airport Radisson could look like the Taj Mahal to me. My family loved the Middlegate pictures. Need to show them to Gayle, Aaron and Hannah. I miss my job already.

Hello Dr. Joel,
Hey I have a handcycle, and some of my friends here in chicago and downstate want to join you in your ride. We hope you can allow us to join you when you make it to Illinois. Let me know, we all have disabilities and are a living example of the power of rehab therapy. I always tell the PT's and Ot's that they are the first coaches an athlete with disabilities has!
let me know if you need company, no business or PR just support for your cause.
god speed!
thanks for the encouragement RC. I would love to have you and your friends join me in Illinois. send me your e-mail address at jpress@ric.org
