Yesterday kicked off the first day of our NC2SD B&B2011 trip. We began the day with a wheel dip ceremony on the beach, and had many parents and local community members, including the club cycling team, come out to see us off. Due to a forest fire in Nags Head and tons of smoke in the surrounding area as a result, we had to shuttle in vans from a visitors center in Nags Head. We biked about 5 miles to the visitors center, were driven about 35 miles, then biked another 35 miles to Swan Quarter, NC. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner from the host church, and attended a ceremony celebrating our trip and the local high school graduates.
Today, we biked another easy 35 miles to Bell Haven, NC. Our hosts have been very accomodating and took us to community homes across the town for showers, and some even for a hot tub soak. I'm off to explore the town now. Stay tuned for photos.
