Today has been our longest day so far on the trip and defiantly the longest I have ever cycled in a day. We traveled from Coulee City to Spokane and the terrain was similar to yesterday, a lot of rolling hills and flat terrain the entire trip. I think everyone was looking forward to today so that we could get through it and have a day of rest. Today we had two extra riders with us who are Pi Alphas (guys who have done JOH in the past) and friends and fraternity brothers of mine from over at WSU. It was great seeing them and getting to ride with them, I thought it made the trip a little more bearable having them there. The day started normal with a little bit of side wind definitely slowing us down a few miles per hour. Making it to lunch we hit the 50 mile mark and the Turner’s sponsored an incredible subway lunch with some of the best homemade coconut cornflake cookies I have ever had. By this point there were a lot of guys starting to have knee pain, including myself. The rest of the ride went well and everyone had a great attitude, it was a great feeling rolling into Spokane knowing the day was over and we did it!
Lodging was at Gonzaga University and we were hosted a BBQ dinner by the Theta Iota Chapter (my chapter) so it was great to see a bunch of the guys. That night we all got to hang out and look forward to our first day off, I can’t wait!
