Thanks pedal wench for the most inspiring report I've ever read. I was in tears early on. I've got a friend who just had a 2nd diagnosis and her 2nd mastectomy and is doing great. (she's a mammo tech) I'd love to help out at one of these events. I'll be checking it out online to find out more.
thanks again!

Thanks everyone for your kind responses - I just wanted to share what was probably the most interesting weekend I've spent on a bike. The 3-Day ended Sunday night, and that Monday morning I signed on for next year's crew. Although this was the first year they've have bikes in Atlanta, some other cities have used bicycles in the past. It was the most amazing experience I've ever had, and I highly recommend it. www.3-day.org, and register for crew. It's too early to specify the route safety crew, but at least I'm on the list.

Great report Pedal!
Isn't being part of the 3-day amazing? I walked the Philly 3-day in 2005 and crewed in 2006. I was late in registering and the moto team was full so I was assigned to a pit stop. I'm actually walking again this year with 4 awesome women that I bonded with by making @ 100 gallons of gatorade in the cold and rain! We had tough conditions this year...but it's awe inspiring to watch the human spirit persevere. Many people will say that crewing is harder than walking, and I believe there is some truth to that. Do you have any plans for next year to do it again?
