Regina Erskine, a Portland schoolteacher and friend of mine, completed her coast to coast bike ride for Celiac disease yesterday at Savannah, Georgia.

It wasn't quite the finish Regina was hoping for, after being hit by a pick-up truck several weeks ago and suffering some pretty nasty injuries. But after resting up, she carried on and made it to the Atlantic Ocean. Not quite Maine, but it'll do. The trek was a success nonetheless and a testament to Regina's perserverance.

Regina will return home to Portland (via RV) and make a final ride into Payson Park on Saturday, July 2nd.

Congratulations!
