Today's ride was pretty awesome, we rode 65 miles from Cadiz OH to Zanesville OH, and the weather stayed nice enough so that we could make it into our destination, the Central Presbyterian Church by about 1:30PM. We are also almost entirely out of the mountains, so it is nice to not have to worry about that for a while. I was telling my riding group today, I am glad we had those big mountains early, because all of these hills in Ohio seem like flat lands, they are so much easier to ride than the mountains from Pennsylvania. Matt S and Adam made today's ride especially fun, they spent the entire ride singing random songs and telling jokes, so they made the day go by much faster. The I4K likes to get our rides done, but having fun while we're doing it is always a huge plus, and I think this group is really coming together as a fun-loving unit.
Once we got into Zanesville, we just relaxed for a little bit, then, since we were there so early, decided to go catch a movie, and made it out to see The Hangover before dinner. The movie was pretty funny, not as amazing as I hoped it would be, but still very funny and well worth my $4.50. After that, the church made us dinner, another amazing meal of pasta, salad and tea, so I was nice and full by the time I headed to the library to write this up. I also want to give out some more thanks to the Ohioans who have been so kind in donating so far, I think we got $80 today alone in donations from random strangers who just wanted to learn about our trip and help us out, so it's been really amazing in the Midwest, it seems like everyone is so friendly and willing to help. I also got to talk to a few of my good friends in the last few days, so that was really great, and I'm so excited to be heading to Homewood in about a week where I will get to see all of them again!!
