Tenacious Toplip Tuesday

The guys have Mustache Monday, so the ladies named this a day. We all used bike chain grease to make our 'staches.

Little Rock, AR to Clarksville, AR

Today marked the longest ride of our trip thus far. We biked 102 miles, marking my first century ride. We couldn't have asked for a better day. There was a steady cloud cover, temperatures hovered around 80, and we all had sufficient nutrition donated by Gu and Cliffbar. With a little adrenaline in the mix, we managed to finish the ride with a 17.3 mph average pace, active biking time of 5 hours and 50 minutes, with max of 40 and a min of around 8 mph (there were some big hills). Shout outs to Becca, Steve, and Ben for keeping the dream team alive. It was also great to ride with Emily and he dad Joe. Thanks for lunch at Atkin's Cafe Joe! Nothing like second breakfast.

We're now staying at the University of the Ozarks. It's a real treat to have dorm beds to sleep in. Although I took a 2 hour nap before dinner (graciously provided by our host Dawn - spaghetti and meatballs and salad...num num) this evening, I'm about ready to hit the hay. 5 am wake up. Night everyone.

Little Rock Build

We salvaged valuables from an abandoned warehouse in North Little Rock for the local habitat for humanity restore. We easily collected a couple thousand dollars worth of stuff.

This was our cue sheet yesterday.

The only way for us to get out of Memphis was to walk across a mile long bridge and then bike on interstate-55 for 0.5 miles! As we were entering the highway there was a sign that said no bicycles on the highway. But we all made it - safe and sound.

We crossed the Mississippi on Thursday, June 9th

Right before we walked across the bridge in the pedestrian lane out of Memphis, TN and into West Memphis, AR.
