Today was a pretty tough day. We had such a big day yesterday that I think my body was wanting to take it a bit easy today and it didn't get what it wanted. We only rode 55 miles, but again it was a lot of hills. By the way the group is acting, I think that I am not alone.
We rode much of the day through Lancaster County PA. It was so pretty. I went by many Mennonite churches and they were having meeting and it made me miss home. I am really missing attending church on Sundays. Sundays seem to give me a lift that I need.
We had a member of our group get into an accident today. It happened first thing this morning and I didn't find out until this evening. He was just leaving camp this morning and was going down a big hill and hit some gravel and I guess the bike slid from underneath him. He just had road rash and a few stitches, but will not be riding the next few days and will hopefully rejoin us in DC.
We had beautiful weather for riding today. It was a little overcast and no rain, which makes.things cool for riding. We did have a pretty big thunderstorm come through this evening. I think we have some pretty good days forecast for the next few days.
I have been feeling a bit homesick today. I guess in a way I have been feeling like, ok, I think I have had enough and would just like to see Carey again. We are starting out 4th week out here. Carey and I have never been apart this long and I think that is the hardest part of being here.
