The days are really going fast now and soon we will be at the Atlantic.3 biking days to go. The day started as all the rest and this time we got both the alarm and the wake up call- we were already awake. Breakfast, we suspected, would be chaos as the original deal done under the old brand for the hotel included breakfast bu the new brand id not. As we all marched into the restaurant security told us that we had a special room next door. He opened it up and they slowly supplied scrambled eggs crispy bacon toast and pastries as well as coffee and orange juice. The last 4 days of biking are all around 120 miles some with over 7000 feet of climbing. This means we will leave at 7 ish for these. The forecast was for thunderstorms and rain latter in the day. The wind was from the south. This meant we had around 1 mile of headwind then around10 miles of mostly tail and the rest cross wind. We rode with Eric to the first SAG and there was some excessive tootling in the tail wind. Karen told us at the SAG that Chris one of our riders was hit by a car and taken to hospital. By all accounts his bike is totalled and he was okay. even protesting that he wanted to carry on riding. Sense prevailed and he was taken to the hospital. Apparently the staff will pick him up this afternoon/evening.
Whoops-all the air has gone to the top -Lee just made it to the SAG
Are we in USA?
From lunch to the hotel was a nice ride. The weather held off. We beat the luggage van in. However it arrived 15 minutes after us. Perfect, unload and shower.
121 Miles in 6:55.
