Oxford, OH

July 31st

It seems like we are crossing states lines left and right as we move east.  The ride was set on paper for 80 miles but we turned it into 100.  JT did a crew ride-along today with my pace line.  He hadn’t ridden a bike for more than 30 miles before so we told him we would take our time and just crank out the 80 miles.  Although there was a decent amount of complaining from him he rolled into the Pi Kapp house after a total of 90 miles on the road.  Since he was so close and so many guys on the team had doubted him, we rode down to the football stadium and went around the parking lot until he reached 100.  It was pretty inspirational to the team to see a guy who hadn’t been on a bike for years finish 100 miles. That night we had an amazing T-bone steak dinner provided by the Pi Kapps at Miami of Ohio.  The guys were in the process of changing houses and they still took a good amount of time out of their day to cook and hang out with us.  We had a team meeting and went over safety on the road as well as our recent experiences at friendship visits.
