Wednesday June 29
Today started off with a much needed sleep-in after our grueling 117 mile day. We woke up at the wonderful hour of 7:00 (sleeping in for us cyclists) ate breakfast and headed off for another day of route 2. The 78 miles seemed easy after the previous days brutalities. The weather quickly turned hot, but we still managed to coast through the miles with relative ease. We stopped for a snack in a VFW where one Veteran supplied us with water and told us that there was a bigger VFW in Glasgow, where we were headed. We decided to stop by the Glasgow VFW before we headed to the civic center where we were staying the night. In the VFW, we all were rewarded with cold sodas which we drank while chatting with the Vets who wondered in. After, we headed to the civic center where we, in typical fashion, set up a sprawling camp. While we were doing laundry and preparing dinner, a tornado blew past glasgow! We quickly abandoned what we were doing and rushed to windows to watch the hail, wind, and darkening storm clouds that were gathering outside. Brit took a video on her phone of the spiraling clouds which ended with her appropriately saying "this is scary." After the storm had blown by, we all settled into to bed, dreaming of the strong tailwinds we hoped to have the next day.
