Today had a lot of ups and downs. Figuratively and literally. Riding out of Manhattan as a group was cool and fun. The ferry ride to Jersey was relaxing and scenic. Lunch at the landing point in Jersey was tasty, but it was also long and hot.
This was the beginning of a day of brutal sun. It was a hotter ride than we'd ever done, and the heat took a lot out of us.
The initial ride away from lunch was pretty awesome. We were all together through the town, taking up one whole side of the street, with police escort. Neat.
Then, we launched straight into the worst hills of the day, right off the bat, in that hot, 1pm sun. The early afternoon was really tough.
But here we are now in Tent City, Princeton. We've met some nice people, had a good dinner and a shower, and we're REALLY ready for bed.
More tomorrow!
Yay! Great job guys. Get a good nights rest and keep up the good work tomorrow.
