We went for our very first group ride to test out the bikes today. So glad i rode with the philly bike club and was used to riding with other people. I got to enjoy it more because the pointing and calling was second nature. I realized during the ride that I was finally amonst people who are doing the same thing I'm doing - biking across America! I don't have to explain it anymore, the people I'm with are doing it too. The ride was great except for a ton of pot holes. Luckily no flats.
Got back and I decided to walk over to walmart and spend $3 to buy a pack of freeze pops for everyone. Huge success :).
Then we finally showered and I have to give a shout out to Jeff - the towel you got for me works amazing! And it's really big and I love it!
Then we painted the van. See picture below. I contributed by mixing and painting the green grass. Not in the picture below sorry.
Finally went to a persons house for dinner where the dinner bell was a cannon being fired. Yes a live cannon - fire in the hole! We also shot some bows and arrows and slingshots and played this awesome ping pong ball game around the world.
People on my trip are chill we have moved beyond ice breakers and are starting to really meet eachother.
It's a build day in Portsmouth tomorrow.

If anyone knows how important a camping towel would be - it's Jeff! #2 son.
