Big thanks go out to aunt barbie uncl Bobby, Mom , and moriah for sending me care packages! It was great to get to illinos and have cliff bars waiting my arrival! If anyone is thinking about sending anything I have discovered that shot blocks and Gue works the best and tastes good to.
I have been averaging about two various energy bars/gues a day! The past week has been great we have finally hit flat ground back in Ohio and are making our way to the rockies. On the forth of July we left dayton ohio after our build day with a police escort for the first ten miles. It took three police cars yo a complish zero stops out of town. Itreminded me of when you see the president and he has various cars zooming around him. Midway through the police escort a dog decided to run away from it's ower and lead our pack sprinting for several miles in front of the police car. after we were dropped of at our respective bike path that would lead us to our first century our group huddled and sang the
star spangled banner. We all had mini flags bellowing in the wind attached to our camelbaks. The forth was hands down the one as of late.
Other highlights of the past week have been our day off in Pontiac Illinois and luractual riding hours on the bike. It's interesting because as the trip goes on long milage seems to go by faster and our perspectives are changing. 60 is the new 40 miles as someone said today while we eTched the final world cup game at a local pub here in mt Vernon. Hope all is well with everyone! More updAtes to come as we make our way through Iowa.
