Hello, Columbus

Today we had an easy ride from Gambier to Columbus but before I can talk about the ride I need to fill you all in on sleeping and breakfast. Last night we all got an amazing night of sleep on real matresses and real sheets. I woke up feeling refreshed and the only bad part was gettingout of bed. Usually with the thermarest it's only difficult to get up because it's early not because I'm just so comfortable I don't want to. After we woke up and got all ready we headed over to breakfast at the campus dining hall. It was amazing. First of all the dining area looked like Hogwarts. To eat there were hash browns, eggs, strawberries and blueberries, yogurt, cottage cheese, cinnamon rolls, sausage, cereal, pancakes, oatmeal, bagels, and icecream. I didn't eat all of that but I think I did have about half not including icecream. If every morning was just like that we would be all set. Today's ride was only about 43 miles and mostly flat with a few gently rolling hills just the way I imagined Ohio would be. We even had a few bike trails worked in to avoid the cars for a while. This afternoon was another laundry day so off we went to the laundromat that is also a tanning salon. We got all the clothes in just two washers and 4 driers which is impressive by Bike&Build standards. Dinner was at the house of one of our riders roomates parents. They have a paddle boat that I took a spin on and we had pulled pork for dinner that my Dad would have loved. It was an overall excellent night and now I'm off to bed for an early start tomorrow to get to Dayton where I will see John Michael the day after tomorrow.
