Tuesday was a very challenging day because the wind was just as strong as on Monday but it was coming out of the northeast and we had 100 miles and just about every mile was going eastward. It took me about 7 hours and 15 minutes of biking and my average was 13.6 miles per hour. Thankfully it was not hot. In fact on Tuesday night the temperature got down into the upper 40's. The due was very heaven on Wednesday morning and not so enjoyable to fold up a wet tent. On Tuesday night I was on the crew that had to serve the meal and clean up afterwards. It was fun to work together with those assigned to work.
Every night we have a Peleton meeting at 7:30, followed by small group meetings. We had a special speaker on Tuesday night. It was the wife of a pastor who was a strong supported of the SeatoSea ride. Her husband died very unexpectedly of a heart attack last February. She had a very powerful message and led us in a beautiful hymn.
After the small group meetings everybody scattered to their tents as it was getting very cold. We were camped behind the Richmond High School. Sore muscles were present that night even for the season riders who have come all the way from Seattle.
