We entered the start of week 4 today...so crazy

So yesterday we climbed our last and steepest mountain of the
Appalachian mountains, Daus Mountain. It was really hard, but as soon
as everyone got to the top we did the Cupid shuffle. It was the most
rewarding dance of my life. The interesting thing about yesterday was
that after out climb we never went down the mountain, instead, we
stayed in a really cool mountain community in Monteagle. We got to
stay in houses...with beds!!!! Probably the best sleep of my life.

Today I was sweep and it was one of my favorite days. We started off
the day with a 30 min nap at this very nice ladys house, Toby. We then
entered the extreme fog and went down the mountain. After about 12
miles we stopped at this awesome diner and got some breakfast...and
they gave us some free homemade apple crawlers. I am loving all the
free stuff. The ride today was so beautiful, some more rolling hills
(a couple basically half mountains), 75 degree weather, and amazing
scenery. I was literally on a bike and build high today. I love biking
when it's beautiful out. We got in pretty late cause of sweep, a
couple of bike issues from other riders, and it being a 90 mile day.
As soon as we got in we went to the mayor of Pulaski's house for a BBQ
and pool party. It was so much fun. The people were all so nice and
energetic, and the food, as usual was fantastic. Tomorrow is another
85-90 day so I gotta go shower and rest up...and play catch phrase.
All in all today was awesome!
