Today was 102 miles from Bedford to Gettysburg. It is day 6 of straight riding and it is filled with hills. I was nervous about today because I had heard it was the hardest day of the ride. Reesh and I decided to ride together today at a slower pace. By the end of the day, it didn't really matter how slow I rode. My bee sting in my toe from the previous day was swollen and painful. I also kept forgetting to put chamois butter on. There were some pluses to today though. Tony, a 2008 alumni, and his son hosted lunch for us. He grilled me a burger in the state park. They also had make your own sundaes for us in Gettysburg with fresh peaches and mangos. Thanks to them! Also a big thanks to Rob's Family for the buffs. I love it! After getting to camp I quickly fell asleep. It was very hard to get up for dinner, but Gene dragged me to the Appalachian brewery. After dinner I went right back to bed. Today was rough!
