I feel like a million dollars...

Posted on May 04, 2009 by Skyler

So with today we have rode over 200 miles. It has been a blast so far with everyone but especially the riders. We have created games to pass the long hours on the bikes were we see nothing but trees. We have asked every question possible to ask each other and I can not even imagine how much more we can know each other but its going to be intense. Just in the last 3 days have been worth the time,effort and the hurdles. For example, the AC in the car stopped working a few days shy of trip which ended up being in the realm of 1000 dollars to fix. Luckily Kaylyn's parents were nice enough to help us and allowed the car to get fixed. Also the t-shirts were not ready when they were suppose to be so I had to drive from Gainesville to Leesburg 3 times leading up to the trip. Having to line up doctors appointments and t-shirts and having to be in Gainesville for a sponsor meeting was tiring and almost undo-able but I did it and with the help of the others to get this far into the trip. I am just excited to see what hurdles me come across and over come together as a group.

At some point soon, you'll have reached the 1/10th mark. Only 9 more of those and you're wetting those tires in the Pacific Ocean. I'm already impressed.

qui va piano va sano... don't push to hard at the beginning or you are going to need A "VOITURE BALAI".

You guys are absolutely incredible and I know that no matter what hurdles you come across, you will be able to overcome them.

A desert, another desert, and maybe just a little more desert.
