Quincy, FL
Today was so much better than yesterday, at least for me. We started the morning off great by getting breakfast made for us in Montecello – egg bake (some people had never had this before...they were obviously not really living...yay for Porter family holiday staple), bagels, fresh fruit, juice. Definitely beat our daily routine of bagels/cereal/water. Today was a day of many firsts…our first awesome breakfast, the first day of HILLS, the first alligator sighting (I have pictures!), the first time I reached 32 mph (downhill of course), and our first media coverage (a reporter from the local newspaper interviewed us!). We had a short day of only about 45 miles and finished most of it by lunch. But we didn’t know where we were staying until about 2pm so lunch turned into about a 3 hour break. Poor Lindsey and Matthew both had pretty rough days with flats/bad directions but they made it through. I think Lindsey’s about ready to burn her bike though, haha. We’re staying in East Gadsen High School in a beautiful, air conditioned gym. Right now there’s a basketball camp going on but we’re just chillin until we figure out dinner (donation…cooking…etc.). I am surprised that my body hasn’t shut down by now. 240 miles in 4 days. My legs didn’t seem to work too well for our last few miles but I made it. And so it goes. Till tomorrow.
