On the Road

So I said that finding Internet access on the road would be difficult, and it's true. This is the first time that I have been able to really check email in five days.

Orientation was a lot of fun and getting to meet 29 new people and blending so many different personalities. We left from Nag's Head on Friday with a full police escort, very cool. That night we stayed at Soule Methodist Church in Swanquarter, where they fed us very well and get us ready for our next day's ride.

My next day was very rough. I ended up have a very difficult day on Saturday due to the combination of rainy conditions, a hole in my Camelbak and two broken spokes due to the bumpy roads. I finally got to Belhaven, which was amazing. The people there were so nice and accomadating to our every need. They threw us this awesome cookout Saturday night and built a campfire for us later.

Today was much smoother. I had to sweep today and pulled into Greenville around 3:00. This guy named Steve have offered us his house for the night, as well as dinner.

I will try to update in a few days when we finally pull into Chapel Thrill!

Cheers
