Blake said they didn't eat real well today...and not enough. There was no breakfast at their hotel so they went down the road to--you guessed it--a Dunkin' Donuts, where they each ate three and had some coffee. At about 10:00 they stopped at a McDonald's for something...I'm not sure what. Then, at 1:00 p.m. they stopped at a convenience type store and got a 5" sub. That was at the 56 mile mark. From mile 56 to mile 122 all they ate was a bag of M & M's. Good thing they're almost finished with this ride. I don't think their bodies could take much more of that good 'nutrition'.
It was pretty warm today. They got rid of their jackets within ten miles of starting out. They stopped at a bike shop in Brattleboro, Vermont and now Blake can finally shift his bike into first gear (for the first time in 1.5 weeks).
Maisi arrived around 4:00 p.m. today. The three of us went into town, walked around a bit and ate supper at The Bell in Hand Tavern which is billed as "the oldest tavern in the United States". Good food.
We're looking forward to meeting the guys tomorrow afternoon...ONE DAY LEFT!
Hope
