Been Too Long

Hey Everyone,

So it has been far too long since I last updated this thing. Tennessee proved to be a very challenging state on many levels, much of which we biked over. To try to pick back up with updating, I have decided to wrap up everything the best I can, probably using bullet points frequently.

So here she goes:

-Tennessee is very hilly, like, the whole state. It leveled out about 30 miles east of Memphis.

-The people in Pulaski, TN, are awesome. It was cool to go to the mayor's house and him be pushing us to drink the beer he bought us. And he also did a cannonball with me and Ben.

-Memphis is an amazing city. Everyone we talked to there was really cool and Beale Street was worth all the hype. Many pictures to come from our stay there.

-Eastern Arkansas is desolate. There is nothingness until you get near Little Rock. The people that live there even admit to it and don't know why they live there.

-Little Rock is a nice little city. It has its share of problems that we saw and heard about, but it is growing and the Clinton library was really cool to tour.

-Giving television interviews is interesting, but would be even better if they actually used your footage...

-The Ozarks are a beautiful mountain range, but are the most frustrating things in the world. You think you're done with them and then more hills emerge. At least I know they are done with now.

I am currently in Grove, Oklahoma, after a 74-mile day that took us out of Arkansas and into Oklahoma, then back into Arkansas, then into Missouri and then back into Oklahoma. We are all looking forward to getting to Bartlesville tomorrow and enjoying our day off on Tuesday.

I will post pictures soon, I promise.
