More biking

Today route 2 got me when we hit some awful bumps, the girl in front of me clipped Ashleys tire and tumbled, and then I ran over her and crashed to the ground. Luckily we all walked away with minimal injury, just some cuts and bruises.

The general ride today was easy as it was half of what we did yesterday. Plus, the sun was shining and the wind had died down a lot. There was actually some beautiful scenery today. For part of the ride I rode with an alumni of our route who also recently rode from Alaska to Aregentina with his brothers. It was neat talking to him about his experiences on the route and about biking in general.

We are staying at an old armory/community center, which was great for prom night. Everybody got dressed in crazy dresses from thrift stores. My date and I dressed at Charlie Brown and Snoopy. It was great. I danced and ate sweets until I got tired and now I'm headed to bed. Even though the night was fun, we still have to bike tomorrow and my body needs to recover from my tumble. Bruises are not fun.
