Day 52: Karaoke Night!!

This we awoke at the University of Miami in Ohio as we prepared for a short 40 mile ride to Cincinnati, OH. It is funny how short today felt, I remember training and considering this long of a ride as one of my longer training rides. After riding all these miles a 40 mile day seems like a warm up in comparison. It was indeed a short day on the bike and a pretty one at that. The day got hot fast and soon enough we were at a park for lunch. At this park Robby Eisenstein bought subway and power bars for all of us. The lunch was a nice finish to a short day.
We then headed to lodging at one of the Recreation Centers in Cincinnati. There was an outdoor pool and 10 of us did some swimming which felt great with it being so warm out. A few of us played a friendly game of “sharks and minnows” with some of the local kids that were begging us to play.

Dinner was pizza sponsored by Anne Stuart and the disability organization that we sang karaoke with. It was a full two hours of Karaoke, some of the people with disabilities had some beautiful voices. We always have a good time when karaoke is involved, everyone starts singing all the oldies and bringing back the songs that were such a huge part of our lives in middle school.

Soon after our visit I quickly hit the pillow for some shut eye. Tomorrow we will be heading into Kentucky, now that the states are smaller we have been entering and exiting states rather quickly, it’s very exciting!
