Towards Lake City

We rode out from Palatka on Friday with a 78 mile ahead of us and a delicious breakfast in our stomachs. I was a sweep rider, one of the two people that stays back and rides last to make sure everyone is on track and doesn't have any emergencies. Because we had to ride at the pace of the slowest group, we took it pretty easy up until lunch.

Lunch was donated by a Bike and Build alum, and we devoured it. Pastries, lunch meat and hummus is the way to a rider's heart.

On the way to Lake City we hit our first big rainstorm, which was both refreshing and nerve wrecking. On a brighter note I hit 31.7 mph on my bike during a downhill- my fastest so far but I'm sure it'll get faster :)

We arrived at a Presbyterian church and they had popsicles and taco salad waiting. It was heavenly and solidified my theory that we've been spoiled as far as food goes.

The ride itself felt great, we had such a high when we finished but the foam roller definitely relieved some pain when we settled down.
