bike clothes. Eat breakfast. Help clean up. Route meeting, this
includes recieving our cue sheets (to tell us where to turn and how
far to go etc), listen to announcements from leaders, learn about the
town we are biking to, pass the disco stick, and dance 20 seconds of
80s dancing. Then we bike, stop to stretch about 10 miles in, bike
some more. Halfway through the route the van sets up lunch, unless the
90/90 rule applys. This means that when it over a 90 mile ride day or
over 90 degrees, we eat two lunches! After lunch we bike some more,
take breaks as we feel like it, and bike even more; arriving at our
host site by 4 pm. More often than not we will stop at interesting
things we see along the way, you see so much more by bike than by car!
We bike in groups of 3-6 people, sometimes by skill, sometimes just
randomly. I've been biking with many different levels and loving every
moment, slow or fast :) After arriving at the host we unload the
trailer with all our stuff, shower, eat, give a presentation for our
host, and then hang out or explore the town we are staying in,
depending on how tired we are. Bedtime is 11pm when we pass out on our
thermarests, and then we do it again the next day.
That is a very general day in the life of a bike and builder :)

Ok, so when you post like four days in one day, I run out of stuff to say, but it looks so sad when someone posts a blog and it says 0comments. The sun set here is really beautiful from where I'm looking. The giant picture windows in the library make me want to curl up with a book and read while the sun goes down, but the chairs aren't comfy enough :( I'd send you a picture of the wonderful sunset, but I think I missed my window where it's light enough and still gorgeous. I'll send you a picture by phone soon enough. Have a great day!
