Woooohoooo! We're officially in our final 1000 mile push! 2800 miles down, 1000 miles to go!

Yesterday day afternoon Sandy & Dave, dedicated Ride2Recovery volunteers, met up with us in Frankenmuth, MI. These two are from Michigan and pretty much pour their life into volunteering for and supporting Ride 2 Recovery. Sandy & Dave have met up and hung out with the last 3 SPS Cyclists groups. We loved meeting them & enjoyed the homemade "party mix" perfectly sized for our jersey pockets. Thanks for making it out, guys!

We woke up this morning to find pouring rain and no sign of it passing until 9 or 10 am. In the words of Oliver Van Everen: "C'mon, maaaaan!". We packed into the van to make a quick breakfast run to Mcdonald's before we took off for the day. Breaking news: Mcdonald's parfaits aren't exactly gourmet or top of the line. After about 2 hours of riding the rain decided to stop, but it stayed cloudy and quite humid for quite some time. By the afternoon the world got sick of holding us under clouds and decided to clear up and hit 90+ degrees. Quite the day, temperature wise.

Courtesy of Linda Wells, we continue to be treated to the most gourmet snack stops and lunches. She took it upon herself to bring a fancy variety of cheeses and herbs with her and, oh boy, we are enjoying!

Check out our cool sign
When we rolled into Marine City we had an extremely warm welcome to our lodging for the night; we're staying in an incredible apartment sitting above a super neat Titanic museum. Our hosts are the nicest people treating us with significant hospitality. We wish we had a rest day here! 

In other news... G continues to use over a gallon of SPF 900 sunscreen and still manage to get sunburnt THROUGH her jersey, our flat count hit 43 today, and we still throw more m&m's in attempt to catch them in our mouths than we actually eat. 

Long day tomorrow into CANADA!!!

xoxo,
JT
