Day 3 – We woke up in Milles Standish Park and started our day by eating cereal for breakfast. We started biking on the bike path surrounded by the forest, then we biked out of the pass and filled our water bottles. Josh was leader of the day today, and he followed the map until we hit a gate labeled private property and we got a little worried. But then, a park ranger drove up to us and said that we could pass through, so we did. On the other side of the gate, we met some sandy terrain. It was nearly impossible to bike in the sand so we had to walk our bikes some of the time. The sun was blazing so we took a lot of breaks and water stops and reapplied sunscreen. At one point, Tessa had to back-track a bit to find a lost item, so we got a break in the shade. When we finally emerged from the sandy terrain, we were glad to see solid pavement. To celebrate, we biked to 7-Eleven and got Gatorade, pizza, and milkshakes for lunch. We finished up all right and set up camp at Shawne Crowell State Forest. Elliot and the cook crew biked to get the supplies for dinner. We made awesome sausage and veggie Alfredo pasta that everyone loved and it was the best meal yet. Then we did nightly meeting and we went to bed. We’re looking forward to a rest day by tomorrow.
