Sweep Sandwich Sweepstakes

So today Leisl and I were sweep. While I enjoyed being with Leisl all day, boy was it a tough day to get through. We had super strong headwinds, and rather than push through them I had to go through them slowly because I couldn't pass people. We left this morning at 8 and didn't get in until 6. That's a long day on the bike.

But backing up slightly, last night I came up with this idea, jess did the drawing and I did the letters -


We put it on the trailer so people can add their ailments to the picture.

So today Leisl and I made our sweep challenge who can make us the best sandwich at lunch. Best presentation went to Jillian -as seen below:



But the overall winner was Kira and mark for their cookie sandwhich.

Nolan also had a bit of fun on the golf carts at lunch today too...




We stopped at a garage sale to wait for some fellow bikers and met three little blonde boys with mullets. They were named mitchel, bubba, and gale. Talk about naming children :). Once we finally got here, we ate, I showered and had to give an affordable housing presentation on hope VI right away. Chris and I didn't rehearse but I think it went well. I never did like talking for long in front of a group so I kept it short.

Now I'm just exhaused from the long day.

Stats of the day:

Total Mileage: 85.01

Avg Speed: 12.31

Max Speed: 23.45
