Richmond, IN to Greenwood, IN. Our last of the ten days in between rest days was another long one, this trip was scheduled to be 94 miles, and ended up being a very long day. We got lost multiple times and did the last 40 miles of the trip with no mileage on our cues, so we never had any idea how far away we were, and we kept getting flats and getting lost, so the ride was very frustrating.  The scenery was typical Indiana and Illinois, so nothing too exciting, and the roads at the end of the day were really bad, the potholes were on par with New Jersey, so that part was not very fun.  We ended up getting in at about 97 miles, and we are staying at the house of one of the riders, Dan Bartholomew in Greenwood IN.  Greenwood is a suburb of Indianapolis and the Bartholomew house is really nice, with a lake in the backyard, so some people got on the paddle-boats to cool off after the ride, and we were treated to a great dinner of burgers, brats and hot dogs last night.   We also went out last night to the local ice cream place, Mrs. Curls, and the owner bought all of us ice cream(which was delicious, thank you!!) and some of the team did karaoke at the ice cream place, and then we came back to the Bartholomew's, where the karaoke continued. 

The next day, today, is a rest day, so we are all currently sitting around hanging out, and I am trying to catch up on emails, some people are considering heading out to see a movie.  This morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast of sausage gravy on biscuits, which most of the team had never had, but I was experienced in thanks to all the 3AM Merry Ann's stacks I've had.  This is the first day we are not either riding or visiting a hospital, so it feels good to have no plans and nothing to do for once.  I think we'll be in Urbana in two days, and Homewood two days after that, so I am excited for that, I can't wait to sleep in a real bed for once.  It will be weird after all these nights of sleeping on floors.
