Independence Day

Today we started our day with a motivational speech from Matt Cady (borrowed from Independence Day, Thank you Bill Pullman). Today will probably be remembered as the day of flat tires, our total peaked around 10, all of which belonged to just 3 riders. The weather was great and the hills and clouds were gorgeous, but  it was great to finally make it to our stayover and be greeted with showers!
Tonight we will all be viewing Murdo's fireworks extravaganza and enjoying an extravaganza of explosives thanks to Saebin's lunchtime splurge.
A special thanks to Pastor Holder and his family for a very generous donation, and the Indiana family for breakfast.
