Day Three

My touchscreen makes it tough to moderate comments (I accidentally deleted some as spam!) So I’ll wait till i get back to do that.

Wake up: 4:30am
Get up: 5:15 am
Ride out: 7:20am
Arrive: 2:20pm
Miles: 67
Avg speed: my cyclometer messed up yesterday so i have no idea. This is good because I spend a lot time judging, evaluating, and scoring myself, and I never win that game. This lets me off that hook.

I helped a guy change a flat today. When somebody’s stopped by the side of the road you always call out “Need help?” And you’re always happy when they say no, but this guy said, “I need a pump!” So I thought “damn it” but turned back to help (I really wanted to get to camp) He had NO CLUE how to change a tie so even though my skills in that department are barely adequate I got to be an expert for the moment and I’m sure you’ve figured out that’s what I really like.

We had lunch in a tiny town called Bradley. It has a population of 120 or so (not sure how often they update the sign). LifeCyle provides all meals but the town always sets up a BBQ with hamburgers and homemade dessert to finance their kids’ school (kindergarten through third grade in one room).

It rained slightly today. I got hit by no more than a few hundred drops in an hour but now I get to be butch and say, “Day three? [Spits] Yeah, friggin’ rain. [Adjusts crotch] Didn’t slow me dow at all.” Hawks loogie.]

Mix of head winds and tail winds today. More on that later becuase right now this two-finger typing is killing my hands.

I’m still waaay below my pledge quota. Please help! Http://tofighthiv.com/goto/robtish
