Today was pretty good! We woke up at 6, packed and cleaned the church, and than went out on another adventure! Today's ride was 42 miles, a lot easier than yesterday's 56. Unlike yesterday it was cool and cloudy, and it even drizzled at one point. As we rode, the flatlands sort of became a slight incline for miles, and suburbs gave way to rural farms, with wheat fields as far as the eye can see. I got my first flat today. Soko and another Emily stayed with me as I fixed it. We saw a lot of horses on the way. Lunch was at a gas station we eventually came too. I had some bread with some of the leftover Nutella Andrew and I DMed yesterday. The second half of the ride was more uphill, and I was very tired when I got to the host site, another church. The people along the way at these places are so nice to take us in and feed us. Andrew, Michael Taylor and a few others and I went with a man named Bucky to a local BBQ place, where we had the best pulled pork I've ever had! We also did laundry today. The town we strayed at was a small place called westerly. At night we all had a great big dinner with all the locals, inculcating one who had been kind enough to let us use his shower, as well as Bucky, a super nice guy. After dinner we had some down time in which we all played a game of cards against humanity. Tommorow is a 72 mile ride, better get my rest, this pew I'm sleeping on sure is comfy :)
