One Push up for Every Mile Riden!

Hello from Greenville NC! Today we rode 57 miles from Belhaven to Greenville. It was a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky and temperatures in the 80's (a bit hot), but no wind! We had a great pace going after lunch today, keeping steady at about 21mph for about an hour before slowing down as we got into greenville. The riding has been great but all the time in the saddle is wearing a bit on my hind end! I guess shammy butter can only do so much!

Every day after riding we have the push up and sit up club. An organization we've founded as a group to keep our upper bodies from withering away as all the food we eat goes to our leg muscles. Each day we do push ups and sit ups together. I've decided that I'm going to do 1 push up for every mile, which could be difficult after a 100 mile day! This video (click here to see video) is of one a communal ab work out. Legs up and clap hands back and forth with your neighbor.

The towns and churches we've been staying in are awesome. Southern Hospitality truly is an amazing thing. It's like they're all in competition to be the most hospitable even without a direct competitor. We have been so lucky, it's been awesome. For my sponsors I'm sorry if I don't call on your specified day. Cell phone reception in some of these small coastal towns has been spotty for Cingular. I promise to call as soon as I get service.
