On the way to Chapel Hill

We stopped in Durham and went into Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke. The doors were open and the building was fairly vacant. Check out all the banners in the background!

In Wake Forest, NC

Today was our longest ride yet - 85 miles! Luckily, tomorrow is an easy day and we get to sleep in until 7. I'm off to bed. More later.

In Bell Haven, NC

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.

First Group Ride

We did our first group ride today through Nags Head. We were lead by a local community bicyclist. We did a 15 mile loop to the Wright Brothers Monument and the beach. Afterward, we were fortunate enough to take showers at Outerbanks Sports Club (much better than the hose). We are going to have a big church potluck tonight as a send off. Tomorrow begins our journey. Getting excited!
