I will take the mountains back!
Today we had to change time zones to central which means that at 5:30 am when we woke up it felt like 4:30 am. As such, we started the morning in darkness as shown in the picture above. In addition to the early start we also had a 25 mph head wind today for all 95 miles! Cycling today was like riding uphill for 95 miles without the enjoyment of ever having a downhill. Fortunately, our group was not plagued with flat tires so we were able to be the first group to finish.
Once we arrived at lodging at Minden High School we all took hot showers and put on our team tuxedos (red Push America T-shirt and khaki shorts). We had a fantastic sponsored meal provided by Pizza Hut including cinnamon rolls for desert!
While today was extremely taxing on the body, we are fortunate enough to have a few hours for relaxation which I am going to spend catching up on blog entries and reading. Tomorrow we are going to Grand Island, Nebraska for a legendary 2 days.
See you then!
