Climate Riders Nearing the End of Their Amazing Adventure

Kyle Lukacs is part of Climate Ride 2012, a five-day ride that left New York City on Saturday, headed for Washington, D.C. When the nearly 200 riders arrive at the U.S. Capitol building tomorrow afternoon, Kyle will no doubt have plenty of great stories for us from this long and ever-changing ride, from the hustle and bustle of New York and New Jersey, to the quiet, curvy roads and green countryside of the Amish regions of Pennsylvania.
