So there was an air of melancholy in the air as this was the final day of the event. Even with sore quads and bottoms, people were in fantastic moods.

Many Hershey employees came to Lancaster to ride the final day with us, and was cool to spend some pavement time with them.

Day 4 was more of a recovery ride, and everybody was just chatting and strolling along. We started in two groups from the hotels, those that wanted to "ride casual" and those that wanted to ride hard. The majority of the riders went out for the casual ride, and we all hooked up mid way to process in together.



We rode to Hershey and assembled and the Founders Hall for a police escort to Chocolate World. As we got closer more and more people lined the streets cheering us on. It was then when i realize what a personal accomplishment this was, and what this event truly meant.

We came into Chocolate World where our families awaited. It was a great ride, good people and a wonderful event.

The icing on the cake was that Hershey donated 250k to the YSC, and the riders are on target to raise 200k.




Here we are crossing the finish line!!!
