Rest days always seem to fly by, and today was no different. After a nice oatmeal and bagel breakfast with our host Joe, we bid adieu and cruised down to our hotel to begin the official day of recuperation. Not long after arrival, we headed for a nearby restaurant to share a goodbye meal with Sachin, the first of our party to depart. We will miss him out at the front of the pack, tracking down water refills from locals, and his easy going way which seemed to always find the right time and place to step in and lend a hand.
After saying our goodbyes, we settled in like grizzlies for a night’s hibernation, stirred only by the dinner call for burgers and shakes, and prepared for a big Hilton breakfast to line our caloric coffers before doling out our joules to the roadway once more. 85 miles is our next daily goal… Will we hit it? Find out tomorrow!
