"We are so thankful to Galloway for being so generous and allowing us to use their space," Patterson said in an email. "The rest stops are such an important part of the ride and we couldn't do what we do without the help of folks like Galloway for providing us the use of their property and services. The ability to allow riders a large area to refuel and rest is so important and so appreciated by the riders."
