andy reagan only the interesting stuff

To Dillwyn VA!

Our forth day of biking in a row, I passed the discostick on to Jesse for being so modest about how strong of cyclist he is this whole time and for hacking into the army's network to give everyone internet last night!

Today was a lot of major, busy roads so not that much exciting happened on the road...I rode with Mark till lunch, we rode real fast for awhile, it was gravy! For lunch I had an organic peanut butter, cream cheese, jelly, and a nutrigrain bar in my super PBJ, not quite as intense as yesterday but we were low on bread and that was all I could find haha, it was reallly good though.

I went with Mark's gatorade mix for today's electrolytes, it has been gaining some hype and I'm not really lovin the mixes that I brought.  I finished both of my bottles twice (before and after lunch) and that was definitely a record so I think I'm going to stick with the gatorade!

Riding into town, we had been riding real hard and saw a McDonalds that was too tempting to pass up haha.  I could've very easily eaten everything on the dollar menu (the "dollar menu challenge" that we were talking about last night haha) but I only got some fries and a mc-chicken.  When we got to the church, which was refreshingly close to downtown after the 8 miles into the military base last night haha, all of our gear was already unloaded which was nice, but there is NO room to sleep tonight, it is going to be tight!

Day 4 of my personal push up goal was another success, I put in 60 push-ups and then I went on a cool down run with Sarah who has been running every day after biking!  In between there I got in some good stretching as well, I have been  stretching a lot this trip and I think I can already feel that I'm more flexible.  I was pretty cooked physically after all of this, needless to say haha, and hiked over the pastor's house for a refreshingly cold hose shower lol.  Dinner crew was out buying supplies during that time, and not long after I got back we had an AWESOME meal of tacos! It was good...something for Taco Tuesday to aspire to next year for sure.

Since then we've been tossing around a frisbee and painting the van, and I've been practicing the guitar (I learned six chords last night and now I'm just trying to get quicker switching between them!).

To reflect on the trip as a whole, everything has been going awesome!! Biking has been great, I have been able to help out a ton of people with their bikes and setting up wordpress blogs haha. It really couldn't be going any better!

I have some pictures, not a lot, but I'm using Scott's tethered internet so I'll try to get those up tomorrow when we get to Charlottesville!
