What a great day! It was dubbed "dia de locos" and we all dressed
CRAZY! I had a unibrow and mustache and wore underwear outside my bike
shorts. It was nuts, i looked like a scary man. In the morning I rode
with some super fast people and was lucky enough to ride at the end of
the pace line behind some strong cyclists. We averaged about 23 mph
and we the first people to lunch, a little after 9 am. I was lazy and
stayed late at lunch, napping with the sweep riders (Jen Hunt and
Jesse Young) and also with Andy and Jesse Bright. After a long
relaxation time under the tree and a little stretching we were on our
way, going pretty fast again. Shortly before arriving at our host
town, we caught up with some other riders and found out about a city
pool! So instead of going directy to the church we detoured to the
pool. They let us in for free and we cooled off, swimming in our bike
clothes. It was just what we needed, but I may have gotten a little
sunburnt. The host site wasn't far from the pool and when we arrived I
opened mail!
I got so much mail, I was overjoyed! I'd like to thank my Aunt Dianne
and Uncle Don, Kathi Moore, Kelly Siegersma, Summer Dubois, Grandma
Dykehouse, Kristina Meyer and everyone else who has been praying for
this trip and thinking about us, the encouragement I recieve from you
all gives me strength on long milage days and high hills :) Tomorrow
we go to St Louis and I get to see my family! Can't wait! And another
build day Saturday!

I hope you have a fabulous time with your family in St. Louis! Take a picture of the arch for me! (Or have someone else take the picture with a working camera and send you a picture lol) Have a great ride and a great build day!
ReplyDeleteKelly, we will make sure to get lots of pictures and send them to you (if I can get somebody to tell me how to send them via email that is). By the way, Ryan just told me it is your birthday today, so....HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY!! Have a great time in NY.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info about a day on your bike. It sounded like great fun to ride with the fast group. 23 mph is fast.Lindas brother used to live in Nashville, so we are familiar with that town.It is a pretty neat town isnt it.Have fun with your family. God bless Tom
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you're having fun, and that you got my package! I'm hoping to get one more package to you soon, but I have to wait for the stuff I ordered to come to my house first, then I can send it on to you! :-) I love reading your updates, keep them coming! I'm really impressed that you averaged 23 MPH!!! Way to go girl! That is awesome! Keep having fun, educating people, and living your faith! Love,
