Another wonderful day (day 21)

We have now completed 3 full weeks worth of our ride. I understand that we have about 135o total miles biked, over 50,000 feet climbed and (though this isn't data for me) almost 89000 calories burned! Needless to say we've been eating a lot of food to keep us going.

Here's a pic of where we stopped for lunch today. It was a great spot during a great day. The wind was, again, blowing at our backs and we were just cruising. My average was over 19 mph and we gained almost over 300 feet of elevation today with a total of 2400 feet climbed. It really was great. Took some time to play soccer, rest and we still made it in by 1:30.

I'm going to upload some more pictures to my slide show in a minute, if you've been keeping up with those and then I'm going to go spend some time visiting with the members of the church that are going to be here to have dinner with us. No host families tonight; we're sleeping on air mattresses scattered throughout the building.
