Downtown Jim Thorpe was alive with anticipation and activity on Tuesday afternoon awaiting the arrival of WNEP Channel 16’s Joe Snedeker concluding the second day of his ride for charity.

Because Jim Thorpe is considered one of the most exciting mountain bike areas of the country, Snedeker pedaled into the county seat on a mountain bike as part of Go Joe XI.

This morning, he started the next leg of his journey by mountain-biking the Lehigh Gorge to Rockport, with his day destined to finish in Laporte. His efforts raise funds for the St. Joseph Center in Scranton.
