Update 2:15 PM EDT: Team Nor’easter is within 175 miles of the finish after passing through Hanover, Pennsylvania. The route took them within 4-5 miles of Brad’s house. Wife, Julie reports that they are all looking quite well, considering, though a little “shaggy.”

They are now heading towards CP 54 – Georgetown, Pennsylvania. After the Georgetown leg, which includes the most total climb of all the legs in the race, they’ll skirt the entrance of White Clay Creek State Park, Delaware (had to get an orienteering reference in somewhere) before heading over the Delaware Memorial Bridge. For safety reasons, the rider will get into the van to make the trip across the bridge.

This totally rookie team (riders and crew), in the personally created Three Person Men’s Division, has been doing an awesome job! Word has it that Ken whas been cleared to ride the last little bit on the Boardwalk to the finish line.

I can’t begin to imagine the emotions Team Nor’easter must be feeling as they near Atlantic City.
