Today was a quick 60 mile ride into Indy. The first 10 miles were gorgeous and then we hit highway 37. The first 5 miles of the road were by far the worst road conditions of the trip. Franscis managed to get 2 flats at the same time because there was so much debris. Our paceline yelled “every man for themselves” and gave the person in front of them 10 yards so that each of us could look for our own path through the minefield. We had our first crew ride-along. We give the opportunity for a crew member to cycle for a day to give them the experience of riding with the team. Drayton cranked out the 60 miles with us today without too much trouble.
We had a 10 mile police escort into IUPUI. I want to thank everyone who came out to support the team at the arrival. The support from my chapter brothers was amazing. A couple chapter brothers, our chapter advisor, and an alumnus joined the team for lunch at Beauzbaux. We had the afternoon off and I spent the day at home with the family. We had an amazing dinner at the Stinnette’s house sponsored by his parents and my parents. After dinner we met up with a ton of chapter brothers in Broad Ripple for a couple drinks.
