Day 39 Griswold, IA to Des Moines, IA Long ride:)

So today we woke up at a nice 5am and got ready.  We had to have our bikes shuttled out due to the gravel road/driveway that leads to the retreat center.

So we got to the main road and headed out.  Today I rode with Marpe and Jeff. It was a long ride today at almost 95 miles. The first 30 miles or so the roads were really crappy. They had lots of bumps and were just horrible to ride a bike on.  We got to learn a lot about Marpe as he told us his life story till we realized that we were behind schedule (or so we thought) and took it up a notch.

After a little while longer we encountered some rain. It didnt last long but it did get us wet.  We made it late to rack point but we didnt get racked which was nice.  After about 77 miles we had a little snack on the side of the road provided by Saurabh's family which was pretty nice.

We arrived to our location at about 1:20pm ish and had our lunch and then showered and changed and what not.  Then I took an hour nap or so and then got ready for dinner.  Our dinner was provided by a Pi Alpha Dave Adickes which was pulled pork and funeral potatoes plus a lot of other things. We ate our dinner and then introduced ourselves to the sponsor and family that was there and then after our picture we headed out for gas and then back to lodging.

I got a few videos done and now I am headed to bed

Good Night all


Peace, Love, and Lemonades
