2 Touring Watershed On Bikes To Aid Chesapeake Bay
WILLIAMSPORT, Md. (AP) -- Two staffers from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation are past the midpoint of a 1,200-mile bike ride through the bay watershed.
John Rodenhausen and Beth McGee plan to resume their journey Friday after resting a day in the Potomac River town of
Williamsport.
They started Aug. 1 in Marietta, Pa., and saw some of New York before heading south into Maryland.
They plan to visit West Virginia, Virginia and Delaware before arriving home Aug. 19 in Annapolis.
Rodenhausen says they hope to raise $20,000 during the ride.
Half the money would go to the foundation, with the rest split between the pediatric oncology department at Johns Hopkins University and the American Diabetes Association.
