The riders did an easy 40 mile cruise into Carson City, Nevada today. After a long and difficult day yesterday the relatively easy ride was welcoming to the weary riders. When we arrived in Carson City, the riders were escorted through the city by the city policeman.
Once we had arrived in Carson City, we had a friendship visit with the local Boys and Girls Club. While there, we had the chance to play with the kids as well as put on a puppet show known as “Kids on the Block” (KOB). The KOB puppet show is put on by the cyclists and goes through several roles where puppets with disabilities interact with other puppets. The purpose of the KOB puppet show, is to teach young kids that people with disabilities can do almost everything that a normal kid can do. The kids were really receptive and asked a lot of great questions.
After our friendship visit was over, many of the cyclists ran errands and enjoyed some much needed free time. Tomorrow will be free day in Carson City!
