Today was our first official day. Actually, I guess we started last night. Soon after we arrived at the hotel, Todd went with the support staff straight to return the rental car and rent a vehicle for her to drive to the airport. Upon arriving back, we had a meeting with her to get a crash course in supporting the riders (what they like/ don't like to eat was to on the agenda). Immediately after that, we were shuttled from the hotel to a church where we had a potluck dinner! Following dinner was our daily group meeting, and then to bed (it was after 10pm)! Our bodies we still functioning an hour ahead and we were exhausted after the long day of travel!!
We praise God that the support person was able to the grocery store and stocked the trailer for the next few days. She was wonderful!
This morning started off at 6am, when we ate breakfast and loaded bags into the "garage" section of the trailer. We got our directions on where to set up lunch and we drove to Tracy, MN.
All but 2 out of the 16 riders stopped for lunch. Elliot had to run to flag down a few others who missed the turn! We set up at a beautiful park, and Todd did a stellar job backing the trailer up. The boys began working on their sketch books during some down time.
The scenery today was very flat and very beautiful. Lots of soybeans and corn!
We found a super fun pool in town and enjoyed a late afternoon swim before another church potluck dinner.
It has been fun visiting with the riders, and we look forward to getting to know them all better!
