July 4th was our first century (100 miles in a row)...except Maddy and I got lost and rode 113. We were really pumped for the first 40 miles. We got a police escort for the first 10, so we could take up the entire lane and pass through red lights. We were all hyped up and singing patriotic songs. It was probably the coolest thing I've ever done. After 1st lunch it got really hot (95 deg.) and we hit bad head wind. So the ride ended up being really hard. It was awesome, and 100 miles is one of the greatest things I've ever accomplished (and 113 is even more baller!!) so that was very exciting.
Today we had 86 miles, which was so much easier than yesterday. A lot of talking and storytelling. Theise and I tossed a frisbee (we are throwing a frisbee in every state, so this was our last chance in Indiana).
I'm on the cooler crew chore group this week, which is the hardest one. We are responsible for all the food/drinks. So we put it all in the fridge at the host, pack it up in the morning, take inventory, and make Gatorade and water. Yesterday we had o fill water in lockerroom showers because we were at a gym with no hose or sink. It was pretty funny. It's hard, but great because by 6 am I feel like I've gotten so much done.
Had to include this gem...so patriotic. This is at the Indiana border.
