Today marks five years since the Illini 4000 departed on it's first journey across America. Saturday the sixth team will depart New York on their own journey toward the west coast. I had the opportunity to help set up a stay over for this years team with hosts that the team had stayed with a few years ago. The excitement I sensed when they heard that the team was coming back to their area was simply awesome. Despite having spent two summers as a rider myself I am still taken aback by the stories of generosity I read about and the full circle of hope I sense reading about each summers ride. Godspeed to this years team! Here's to an amazing summer that you will never forget!
Five years ago... oh the memories!
