We did our first century ride from little rock to Clarksville. Little rock was awesome. We had two build days there. We got hooked up with some awesome meals the whole time and we all got to go to the Arkansas Travelers baseball game for free. Little rock by far exceeded my expectations. it was a little iffy riding in cause we went through North Little Rock which was a little sketch. We also found THE 'Little Rock' and held it, it was mighty heavy so it took 8 of us to hold up even though it was smaller than the palm of my hand.
The century ride was not as bad as I thought it would be. It was actually a lot easier than many other shorter days. It went by fast because Maura and I switched off doing 5 minute pacelines. When we got to Clarksville everyone was sooo nice and the first thing that the preacher said to me was the she was a picture of me on the website with a baby and knew how much i liked babies so she invited a woman with a baby to come to the dinner just for me!!! hahaha. and sure enough there was a baby there for me to hog and hug on! thanks so much!
The next ride was a little short.... 94 miles. It was some more mountains. The Ozarks. eww. Actually, I think my legs got a little stronger since the last mountains we climbed cause it was a bit easier to get up and I wasn't about to keel over at the end of it. And Scott and I stopped for Sonic toward the end which was wonderful.
Now, yesterday's ride from Fayettville to Grove OK was AWESOME!!! It was a busy day being that we were in THREE states. On a bike! what?! We left Arkansas, rode in Missouri for a few miles and then came into Oklahoma. The best part of the ride was that when we got to lunch, which Maura, Rachel, Emily and I were first to, which has never happened before, there was a storm off in the distance. We took off on our bikes into the storm, rode through the storm and came out the other side. It was so cool though cause we got to the bottom of a hill and behind us as thunder and dark storm clouds and as you looked up at the top of the hill in front of us there were blue skies. it was the neatest thing. After that little strom the rest of the day was beautiful.
ok gotta go to a meeting
a lot of love
