Day 2 May 27, 2009

We woke up around 6:30 at the hotel, where we ate a carb loaded breakfast and started off. We shot out of the gates and biked 30 miles by 9:30 but slowed down due to a lack of training. By lunch we had reached 50 miles and Glendale (where we planned on staying the night). After an hour break we decided to head off for Mechanicsville. We rolled into Mechanicsville around 4:30 and knocked on a Presbyterian church door. The door was answered by two very kind women who agreed to let us camp behind the church for the night. We biked 72 miles on route today. It was cloudy today but sunny enough to where I have suffered some serious sun burns on my arms.
