Today, after only 3 hours of sleep we got up and packed the van. We left to go to Southside Reformed Presbyterian Church where we would begin our ~300 mile bike trip. There were a total of about 40 people participating in the event and they ranged in age from 11-adult. Following packing stuff into the trailer, a prayer, and a short list of what we do while riding, we started off. We divided into 6 groups of about 6 in each group. The reason we did this is so that everyone would be with others of a similar skill level, and also to make it easier for cars to pass us on the road.
I joined the first group which was led by Mr. Dinkledine, and also the fastest of them all. We started off at about
Considering the temperature was nearly 85, and the humidity was not much lower, the riding was very hot, but the worst part is that my seat got very hard after riding that long! In total by the end of the day when we finally stopped at Kokomo RP church, we had ridden a total of about 77 miles! On the last leg, I was beginning to run out of steam, thankfully we weren’t far off, and dinner was the first thing we would do.
Well, now I have to go to bed because we are getting up really early for an early start on the ride tomorrow which will be about 90 miles!
