More mountains!!! Lots of climbing both days, and harder than the
first. But we are now in West Virginia!!! We have officially biked
through our first of 12 states! WV is very very beautiful and hilly.
78 miles and 74 miles these two days. We were above clouds, and it was
very peaceful. After biking up mountains all day we finally arrived in
Marlinton, but we biked all the way through town and up another huge
hill before seeing a steeple-which gave us the extra burst of energy
until we realized it wasn't our church, we had one more hill to climb
to get to "Mountainview Church" appropriately named. At the church in
Milinton, after they fed us a ridiculous amount of food, we went into
the sanctuary and played and sang some hymns and other songs together,
the musically talented from our group helped make up the band- it was
great. What else that is great is yoga followed by back massages.
Nothing ends a day filled with biking through mountains better than
that. Except maybe swimming in the Summersville lake. My muscles are
just a little sore but besides that, everything feels great! I don't
feel like I can't walk, or like I'm going to die halfway up the hill,
I'm doing this, Im biking across America!!!!! (sorry, I'm still way
geeked out about this, especially as I see progress)

Sounds like you are having an awesome time!!! We hung your picture in our livingroom last night and it looks great. (your painted picture not a portrait of you lol although I stalk your blog I have not resorted to hanging your face above the mantel or anything yet;)) We have also completed and hung our foster animal frame it looks great!!! Enjoy West Virginia, I haven't seen a lot of states but it is by far my favorite to date. Oh and you ROCK!!!! You are biking across america, one mountain at a time!!!! And that's kinda awesome...just saying! LOVE YOU
ReplyDeleteSummer! I'm supposed to be the stalker, not you guys! I can't wait to see the foster animal frame :) I should probably comment on your blog, not summer's comments! Yay for making it 1/12th (stateswise) across the country! Work on improving that MI accent, I expect a southern drawl when you get home ( to compliment my NY one of course!) Just remember it "pours like molasses"
ReplyDeleteLol you guys did leave me alone in Mt. Pleasant
ReplyDeleteSorry about that...I did offer a golfing job if I remember correctly and you turned me down. Something about not liking children :) PS where is this mantle you are hanging Kristen's portrait over?? :D
