Day 2

Day two.

Today we rode slightly uphill for 47 miles. It followed the same river as yesterday which I still can’t pronounce. The path was beautiful and beginning to show the colors of fall. It seems that riders on this trail provide the major economic stimulus for most of the small towns in the area. Small art galleries, tons of ice cream shops, lunch and breakfast spots all dot the trail, but if you ride any distance into town, it doesn’t seem like there is anything else.

This evening, we ate a local bar with an amazingly good singer. I think we were the only patrons. Everyone in the group handled the second day of riding well. Only downside of today was that we are staying in a church that does not have an outside water spigot so there was no option for showers. Oh well, we are all friends.
