Four states in and it feels like we left yesterday! I just got back from a build day in Tulepo, Alabama. We put the floor joists and boards onto a foundation and sweated buckets. Biking into Tulepo yesterday was a blast, a little bit of rain, a lot bit of Elvis trinkets (he was born here), and some lovely rolling hills.
You're probably wondering what a typical build day is like for us. They're all different, in their own wonderful way. Yesterday was only 50 miles and we spent most of it on highways, so I didn't stop at all until we got into town. Other days involve lovely country roads where I stop a lot to take in the scenery. My favorite stops so far have been the Elowah Indian Mounds where my friend Craig and I attempted to hop a fence because the park was closed, only to be immediately chased down by a park ranger, and a waterfall we all stopped at a few days ago in Alabama. We went for an amazing swim to cool down after climbing our first serious mountain (nearly two miles of steep grade incline, KILLED my thighs).
Life is still wonderful. I still do not have enough time or energy to thoroughly express what an amazing time I'm having, but when I see all of you next I'm sure you will be able to feel that is Bike & Build oozing from my tanlines.
