Day One of Riding Done! 64.7 Miles! Woooo Hooo!

Today we rode from Nags Head, NC, - where we dipped our wheels in the atlantic ocean - to Swanquarter, NC, where we are staying at the United Methodist Church. They are putting on quite the feast for us too. Which is good b/c according to my heart rate monitor I burned over 3,500 Calories today! (and loved every minute of it) . Tomorrow's ride is to Belhaven, NC, and is only 30 miles so I figure we should be done by lunch. You'll notice that the schedule on this blog is a bit different from what we're doing. This is because some changes had to be made when we couldn't find housing along the planned route, or when a build day was cancled. So check out the route tracker on the bike and build website (http://www.bikeandbuild.org/cms/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,210/) for the most up-to-date schedule, as well as pictures and journal entries from riders everyday when we're done riding!

The first image (on the left) is my back tire being dipped into the atlantic ocean. The next image (to the right) is a view looking back on my helmet and at my fellow riders behind!

As always thanks for your support!
