2 Wheels 4 Water was a success! We rolled back into Greenville at about 3:30 this afternoon. Touring Sport BMW welcomed us with a tunnel of motorcycles and a finish line to break through. It was a great finish to a long ride.
We left Rock Hill this morning before 9am after picking up a copy of the paper. We made the front cover of the Local/State section. The picture in the paper looks great, but for some reason on their website it looks more like a watercolor painting of us then a real photo. haha.
We pulled into Asheville at about noon, got turned around and finally made our way through town by 1:30. We stopped for a quick lunch at Arby’s thanks to a generous offer from the Vice President, JoAnn. We enjoyed a free, yummy lunch! Then we cruised back towards Greenville. My scooter started making a high pitched squeal. We pulled over, but couldn’t figure out what it was. Frankly I was just so excited to get home I tried to ignore the fact that my scooter could blow up on the way down highway 25.
Overall it was a great trip. We raised a little money, drummed up some publicity and hopefully as a result, some people we will never meet will have clean water to drink. Now I need a massage.

I’m very impressed with what you guys are doing. Global problems like the one you seek to change can be daunting, so I very much admire the way you personalized and took on the problem. Keep up the good work!
Also, I was wondering, could I possibly spotlight you on the charity/volunteer blog I just started up?
