Some Updates

Whew...what a week.  We're all getting MUCH better on the bikes, but we still have a ways to go.  Yesterday we did our first century - 115 miles in one day - and I promptly passed out (not before I got to swing around some of the cutest little girls in the whole world at a friendship visit).  At our lunch crew stop, a little dog came running out to visit us:

We also got to see some cool Wind Turbine farms out in the middle of the country (Matt Henry, if you're reading, this is for you):

Today we went a measly 75 miles from Pullman, WA (home of the Washington State Cougars) to Spokane, WA (home of Gonzaga, whatever their mascot is).  We had our first police escort into Spokane which was pretty cool.  We've got a much needed off day tomorrow to recover and work all the soreness out of our legs and rear ends.  It's still hitting me exactly what we're doing, but I'm so thankful I decided to do Journey of Hope.  I've only been here for two weeks, but I already feel like I've known these guys forever.  That's all I've got for now, I'll post more when we get going again.  Have a good week everybody.

P.S. - get ready for some pictures of ridiculous tan lines.  I already look like a raccoon.
