Hello and Welcome from Harrison, AR

Hello all! Sorry but this post will be short. We are only able to get one computer online at a time and so are limited to 30 minutes each, and well, email comes before blogging!

The last couple of days have been pretty crazy. Memphis was a ton of fun, as well as being filled with some very scary moments. One of our riders was hit by a pick up truck that was going 50mph. Luckily he only got some severe road rash. Considering the truck was going 50 thats about as close to a miracle as you can get. He's taking some time off and may come back to the trip. We are all hoping he does b/c he's a great guy and we're missing him. Remeber Andrew, you should've seen what you did to the truck!

After memphis we stayed in a camp ground in pointsett state park which has the highest density of mosquito's I've ever experienced. I got bit more than 10 times on my right hind end, through my spandex bike shorts, in the 30 minutes I was outside in the morning. We then started what was to be a 100 mile ride in the pouring rain (and I do mean pouring, not misting). After making it to the first rest stop (about 40 miles I think) the leaders called off the ride and decided to shuttle b/c they thought it was going to keep raining and thunderstorming all day and they were worried about cars being able to see us on the road.

That's all I have time for now, I'll finish the story soon I hope!

Cheers, all and thanks for the comments!
