Today was the race of the vans!
Each van had its own pace line today and we all raced to our arrival point as quickly as possible. We didn’t really race, but we tried to get to Niles as quickly as possible and my van (Van 5) came in 2nd place!
When we got to the final destination we made an arrival at the local Saturn Dealership. They were kind enough to host our team for lunch and refreshments. While there, I was selected to give a TV interview for the local news channel. It was fun to give an interview and practice before hopefully making another appearance in Pittsburgh!
After our arrival we rode to our lodging and friendship visit which was at a local school for children with disabilities. When the clients began to arrive everyone started to get excited because they knew that this might be our last dance of the summer and we needed to go out with a BANG! The dance was a lot of fun and after the clients left we had about 30 minutes of free time before making our way to dinner at Olive Garden.
Dinner was really fun and relaxing. The owner of the Olive Garden in Niles actually ran into the team a few years ago in Nevada and was so thrilled with the idea that he has been hosting the team since. After dinner, we all came back to lodging and played basketball for a few hours. I have to say that basketball is not one of my strong suits, but I actually felt relatively capable by the end of the evening!
It’s late and we have an 80 mile ride into my home town of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania tomorrow!
