Rick Collier - Veteran Touring Cyclist
S. Paris, ME - We departed Greene Corner this morning and quickly approached Streak Mountain, our first big mountain in Maine. On our descent of Streak Moutain, we ran into Rick Collier, a veteran touring cyclist, who is cycling from Minneapolis to Halifax, Nova Scotia via the Northern Tier. Rick is from Calgary, Alberta and he kindly gave us us some chamios cream to prevent chaffing for our long haul ahead.
Once again, we would like to thank the following people we met today who we consider "Fans For Life":
Mike "The Rabbitt" - Free-spirited truck driver and former cyclist
Mark Francis - Special Education teacher in Buckfield, ME
Construction Crew on Streak Mountain Road - Encouraged us to continue our climb.
Jeanne Prince & Jennifer Talbot - School teachers & librarians in Turner, ME who donated to the cause.
Day 4 Recap: Greene Corner, ME to S. Waterford, ME (46 miles)

We all wish you the best of luck! If we could, we would be riding along side of you. Just know that when you hit a hard climb, your fellow cyclists will be cheering you on to the top. When you reach a point of exhaustion, we will be cheering you to pedal on. And when your hungry, we'll ship you some meatballs.
Keep up the good work! Team Hard Corps is proud of you!

Hey guys, just got done doing an urban ride with Damian, Wes, Jesse, Ben and Jonathon (Mary, we promise to keep riding in your absence). In customery fashion at least half of us closed down bars 5 hrs before embarking on our urban loop. No prizes for guessing who.
The site is great, I just got done browsing all the updates. The pics are brill, keep up the great work. Looks like you guys are having a blast and meeting lots of great people.
Having a bit of a house party tonight, I'll be sure to raise a glass for you guys. In fact I'd go as far to say, I might even tip two (or more) in your honour.
Keep on riding !!!
Gregor
Greetings Drew and Greg,
I'm sending some good vibrations from Austin, TX in hopes of keeping the spirits high.
Nice to see y'all getting starting on the road in Maine; I'll follow the website all the way.
