DAY TWO IS COMPLETE!
All day long we fought the heat.
The first 20 miles were somewhat cool,
but oh, how welcome was the pool.
Who would have guessed this second day of fall,
would set a record for the hottest day of all?
Lots of porcupines met their demise today.
We don't know if it was heat or simply their delay.
Mile after mile we pedaled on
through Cadillac and far beyond.
Up hills and around innumerable bends,
Eventually we knew, it had to end.
Indeed it did after mile ninety-five,
and we couldn't wait for that refreshing dive.
After cooling off, to dinner we ran
(not really ran - since we can now barely stand).
We're here to express and perhaps even beam,
As we say thank you for your part on this team.
We pedal, sag, and ride mile after mile,
but together we save lives and make people smile!

- Sheep, farms, and other beauty.

- More cold wash clothes - life savers!
- Deer pounding across the the road in front of us
- Safety because the deer ran across in front of us.
