So today was our first rest day in ten days and boy was it nice. Once the team rolled in yesterday from Richmond, IN everyone took a well-deserved load off swimming in the pond and having fun with the paddleboats. One of the rider's family put the team up for two nights, keeping us well-fed and very clean which we totally appreciate. Some of the team, myself included, indulged in the swimming pool across the street, a great treat after two weeks of riding.

My family even made the trip down to grab some dinner with cousins who live in Indianapolis and that was really nice of them, so thanks you guys and see you in Chicago!

Another good note, we have ridden over 1,000 miles! It feels really weird actually to be in Indiana all ready, but at the same time I feel very accomplished. One other good thing to mention is that we rode over two hundred in only two days! I didn't ever really think that I could do all this, but taking it one day at a time sure does help and having such a great team of people riding alongside me everyday is more than a rider could ask for.
