First off, sorry about some of the formatting and lack of pictures.
It's really hard to get computer time so most of the posts come
directly from my phone.
Ok so here's the quick update on the past couple of days. We biked to
our build site (about 6 miles away) in Maryville, TN. It was a really
hot day, but an awesome build site cause we got to put down the entire
floor, and I got to work the power saw (my favorite thing to do on the
work site). After our build we went to this restaurant called Aubreys
and they covered our entrées, drinks, and dessert. It was sooooo good.
Yesterday was a short ride into sweetwater, about 40 miles. I really
enjoyed this ride, mainly cause it was just rolling hills. We stayed
at Sweetwater national gaurd armry last night, so we had to make our
own dinner. I was on dinner crew, and we made some pretty delicious
burritos. I never realized how difficult it is to cook for 30 very
hungry people, especially under a $50 budget. Oh yea and before dinner
we all got to go take a tour at the nations largest underground lake,
which turned out to be really cool.
Today was about an 80 mile day, with only one difficult climb. It was
a hard day, but rewarding at the same time. I could see a lot of
improvement in my climbing. My favorite part of the day had to be sexy
at sixty. At mile mark 60, which just happened to be at the bottom of
the scariest mountain I have ever gone down, we all met up and had a
dance party in the middle of the road. It originated because one of
the riders, Stephen, claims that everyday aroud mile 60 he starts to
feel real sexy, so we all decided to join him today. I'm sure they'll
be many more Cupid shuffles being done right around mile 60 this
summer. Oh and this was right around the time where we entered central
time zone. It's crazy to think that I've biked through an entire time
zone. As soon as we got in a lot of us went to this amazing BBQ place
and then came back and took naps (typical on this trip). Were staying
at another armry tonight. It's kinda cool and weird at the same time,
but I've found that I can pretty much sleep anywhere now. That's all
for now.
