Difficulty

Hey Everybody!
Okay, so today was supposed to be the hardest day. But to tell you the truth, I thought yestereday was harder. First, it was my birthday and I realy wanted to get home. Second, it was hot. Today it drizzled/rained. And it happened when we were going downhill, which was great! I can't wait for tomorrow!

I DID IT!

I finished the first day!

61 miles in about 5 and a half hours. It was pretty tough, but I got through it. But TOMORROW is the toughest. I am not sure if I am riding all of it or not..just going to do my best. I am really anxious. I just had my birthday party because today is my birthday, and I got a lot of neat stuff! On my trip today, I also discovered the happy potty!

To be continued...

Long time

I know it has been a long time since I've updated my blog, and for that, I am sorry. I just wanted to say we have sent the money to the American Cancer Society. That's all I had to say!
