Today was an awesome day. Which is somewhat surprising, because I had to miss breakfast (which I hate), it rained on us (I hate the rain), the road was bumpy and shook us (I hate that), there were flies (ugh) and my technology is all slowly failing on me (I hate that too). And anyone who knows me well knows that I don't suffer in silence or tolerate things well, as a general rule. So what gives? Well, it turns out I'm just really having a lot of fun. I love biking, I love riding on my own and with other people. We met a ride today who's doing the TransAm Race - they left on June 4th and the winner already won, in 18 days and an hour (!!!!). This guy, Chuck, was targeting to finish in 30 days, which is an impressive 140 miles per day. So there's always somebody faster than you, is the lesson here. But it's such an amazingly fun trip. I can't wait to go again tomorrow!
