Irene's Tour de Vache Continues

The first message from Irene this morning was, "Crossed the PA state line at 9 am -- travellling south thru the Poconos on SR 92. Lotsa hills."

The next message included a photo of yet another piece of bovine art they passed by in Binghamton, NY yesterday:



Today they crossed the Susquehanna:



And later on Irene wrote, "We climbed this sucker. Done the Hill Slugs proud."



Mike B., who has been hearing from Theresa, wrote to me today: "It’s even worse than you think for the Anchor House people. There is a vomit virus going around this year. Theresa tells me that starting with Barb Clancy three of her room mates have gotten really sick. It has spread to other riders and the sag staff."

Barb was "one of the first to go down so she is ok now," he added later.

I texted Irene to find out if she and Henry were okay.

She wrote back, "We're fine, the SAG stops have gone to complete panic & have tongs or toothpicks everywhere (but they don't use gloves in food prep)"

For those of us reading about this from home, we're still mystified as to why these people do this ride. It's for a good cause and all, but geez!
