Hi everyone! Day 5 is our very first rest day on the ride. Our hosts provided us with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so all we had to do was relax and enjoy the scenery. Well, and do our chores. And clean and maintain our bikes. And pick up Zona from the airport… Oh wait, the last one is important. That’s right - Zona is with us now after missing the first days of the trip due to a positive Covid test. The team greeted her with a massive group hug of course which was sadly not captured in a photo :(

The evening was marked by a group drive to a local fair. We enjoyed some rides and got to see our teammates’ very differing reactions to being on said rides.

The team got to rest, recharge, and get ready for the next stretch of our journey starting on Day 7. So, on to the next destination!
