Wedn, June 28
63.2 Miles (195.3 total)
First day over 60 miles, and we were a little nervous. But we were also optimistic looking at the elevation chart for the day. Seemed mostly downhill, with an 8 mile uphill somewhere in there, but at a low grade. After that was a lot of downhill, but the last 5 miles was a steep uphill to our host's house, Doug. And no rain! Just a nice overcast all day.
We made great time today! Really good riding, and no issues except at the very end. Something happened to Dad's chain on the incline right before Doug's house, and we had to walk it the rest of the way. Dad had thought he broke his bike and we'd have to take it to a shop. But once we looked at it again in the driveway, everything was fine.
Doug let us use his washer, then drove us into town and we got Thai for dinner. When we came back, we relaxed and chilled in the living room, talking about bike trips we've been on and other stories. I'm just happy to be inside again and have a bed.
