Moustache Day

In honor of our trip leader Gabe's birthday (he has a sweet moustache), we all painted on our own moustaches.  I kept forgetting it was there as I carried on normal conversations with strangers at gas stations.  I was wondering why people were staring...

Mississippi River

Crossed the Mississippi into Iowa today.  Long ride at almost 100 miles...

Chicago

Spent the day off in Chicago a few days ago

Made it to Illinois today!

We got a police escort out of Dayton on the 4th of July morning!

We had a build day today in Dayton. We worked a Habitat house and hung drywall.

93 miles to Dayton

93 miles and feeling fine. Dayton is sweet. Going to a folk music festival here tonight. Party time. I think we deserve it

Ohio!

Sorry for the lack of blog posts.  The picture here is from dinner tonight.  We had a BBQ beside this lake.  It was delicious and so relaxing.

I'm finally getting in to the swing of things on the trip.  We've made it about 900 miles already and I'm currently in Columbus, OH.  Tomorrow is a long day: 5 AM wakeup and a 97 mile ride. I'm a little nervous! The most we've done so far is 85.  But Ohio is flat so that makes things easier.

You can look at the pictures I've taken so far right here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2022900&id=1319280066&l=2936ab689b

Thanks for the support everyone!
