It’s hard to believe that the DC2PGH bike ride is already underway and into day 3! The Council’s own Jonathan Kersting is riding on the trek, promoting regional technology along the way. Through his blog and Flickr site, this self-proclaimed Bike Nerd has passed through Fort Frederick and is in route to this Saturday’s finale celebration at the Point, as part of the Pittsburgh 250 celebration. Be sure to check back with the DC2PGH blog throughout this week to track where Jonathan is at and find out what comes up along the way.
For more information on this initiative and how it is supporting local technology, visit the DC2PGH web page.
Here’s an excerpt from the blog journal:
We started out with a chilly, crisp breeze and an easy spin for 12 miles to the Antietam Battle Field. We took a tour and watched a movie and it was incredible to see the site of the “bloodiest day” in American history. The scene was absolutely awe inspiring. The beauty of rolling farmland and rugged mountains is immediately interrupted as you enter the visitor’s center and are confronted with a 8-ft tall picture of dead bodies heaped in front of Dunkers Church hours after the battle on Sept. 17 1862. Just knowing so much blood was shed on this serene setting put a lot of things in perspective for me. I have no real problems.
