Second day finished.

I am sitting in my hotel room in Farmville, Virginia after sitting with my legs in ice water for 15 minutes, napping, and then taking a luke-warm shower. I biked about 72 miles today, through the back country roads. It was very very nice ride! Everything was beautiful. Farms, woodlands, plains, fields of corn, and very few dogs chasing me! It was too good to last however, for I came upon a gravel road that I was not expecting, and couldn't ride on it because I put street tires on my bike. After I went through the hubub of putting my bike in the back of a Toyota Camry, I drove on a couple of miles until I found pavement again. I got my bike out, put the front wheel back on, biked around and the corner, and..... More gravel. Oh well.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll have more to share in my video blog in the next few days. Thanks for reading!

Training continues!

Today I am going to try to bike 40 miles. The day before yesterday I biked 33.7 miles fairly comfortably, excluding the immense heat of course. After that I intend on going to more restaurants and asking for gift card donations to pay for my food on the trip.
Thanks so much to everyone who has sponsored me so far!
