Last night was made oh so wonderful by a Christian teenage rock band concert at the church we were staying, concluding with a round of Guitar Hero…yes, I got to play. Right now I’m awaiting dinner which is being made by the people at the Baptist church. Here’s what happened today:
WHO: the fearless Bike & Build leaders
WHAT: the ultimate prank on the riders
WHEN: July 6th, 2007
WHERE: from Natchitoches, LA to Mansfield, LA
WHY: their own entertainment
HOW: Our leaders told us that they had messed up the route and instead of a nice easy 60 miles, it was going to be 91. We were soooooo pissed. Our bodies were tired, sore and not up for that much. We awoke this morning to thunder storms and terrible moods. The ride was slow and rainy and around mile 29 we came to a road on our route that turned out to be a dirt road, so we had to walk our bikes 3 miles to the first lunch spot. As it turns out, the first lunch stop was actually our final destination…our ride was only 33 miles instead of 91. The feeling of discovering that was just so amazing. You have no idea how nice it is to actually have an afternoon to relax and get things done, instead of biking for 10 hours, eating, showering, sleeping, repeat. We got to hang out, play knock-out in the gym, clean our bikes, organize ourselves, nap, etc. Amazing.
