This was a really good day. We left on time this morning. The wind was only about 5 miles/hour so it actually felt good. The route was mostly rolling hills. And it stayed cloudy most of the day. We got to our destination by about 2:00 in the afternoon , which is at the only jewish family's house who lives in Bowman. There is a community pool three blocks away where we all swam and showered. I even swam because there was a great water slide there. Than we came back to our host's house to start cooking dinner. I am on breakfast crew so I can just sit and relax in the shade with a wonderful breeze blowing. Hannah and Freddie along with Garth are making black bean burgers and red cabbage cole slaw. So today was a really wonderful day. Sitting here actually feels like I am on vacation. Not how I usually feel after a day of biking.
I was thinking about all the different road situations we encounter on this trip. So my favorite type of road is one with a smooth wide breakdown lane or a frontage road which is a road that parells the highway but has very little traffic. Next is one with a wide breakdown lane with a rumble path ( that's to wake up cars if the they go over it). Next is a road with no breakdown lane and everyone just knows they have to move over so as not to hit us. My least favorite is a medium breakdown lane with a rumble strip because you still have to ride on the road, but it looks like we should be riding in the breakdown lane but reay can't.
Tomorrow they are predicting a strong tail wind. Yay
