80 miles
Yet another day of wind, lightning, rain and heat! It is so crazy! I did much of the ride by myself which was fine until the storm picked up. The wind was some of the worst we have had so far, many people just got off their bikes and tried to wait it out. Worse than the wind was the pelting hail (always fun right?). I finally met up with Arthur with about 10 miles to go. The weather started to clear and we were able to see the lake where we would be camping.
We encountered some early morning flooding...ooops! Little did we know we were headed to a road with three miles of gravel, ugh!
There have been a number of prom proposals along the way...Connor and Steph asked Megan with a PB & J, Thom chalked "Melon, will you go to prom with me?" outside her bike at a cafe, Kevin did a choreographed song and dance to ask Kristie, Pau recited a poem to rudy as she drove by, Joel hid a piece of paper that said "Will you go to prom with me check yes or no" in Megan's back pack...But perhaps the best proposal was Nicole's to Zach. She rounded up a few of us and wrote "Zach will you go to prom with me?" on our butts. Then, after dinner, we spontaneously arranged ourselves and mooned him as Nicole got on one knee with a bouquet of weeds...it was great. See the pic below...
How could you say no to that?
The host site was great - there was a pavilion with picnic tables that we actually set our tents up under (to avoid early morning sprinklers). Also, believe it or not, they had some of the best showers of the summer (or maybe it was just the fact we were excited they HAD showers at all, as we hadn't showered in two days...gross.)
We had a delicious dinner made for us by the dinner crew and then a P2SF07 alum stopped by and gave us brownies! So cute! Thanks again!
We had a campfire under the stars that night before bed and Joel tried to organize some of the prom details...haha this is out of control.
