Short, easy ride today out of Calvin College. We all had to meet for a prayer/send-off at 7am, so the ride group was somewhat 'equalized' today in our departure. The Top Guns, along with Ryan B and John D were the last to leave camp, and we decided to see if we could be the first ones in. It didn't end up happening, but we probably had the quickest ride time.
No pictures of the ride today because we were powering so much, but we did have a videographer ride with us for a good portion of the day. Nick from Grand Rapids had been kicking around since Holland, wrenching our bikes and taking some pictures and videos. Not sure when, but at some point I'll try and track down the rolling footage he grabbed from today.
Camp tonight is at Sleepy Hollow State Park. The campground was built around a manmade lake, and is named after a local farmer named IB Crane (similar to the fictional Ichabod Crane from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"). We'll find out tonight if there's a headless horseman that haunts this area...
There are 36 new riders and volunteers that joined us yesterday, so camp is absolutely overflowing with new people. But it's only really noticeable in the lineup for dinner.
We started up a campfire after peloton and small groups this evening. It's a wonderful thing to sit around a fire and laugh. I'm incredibly exhausted this evening, so I left the group early and will be lights out in a few in minutes.
