The Coast to Coast for MS team woke up ready to face our 93 mile long day! It was cloudy and much less windy than yesterday, making it easier on us.
One of the team's riders, George, has had a cough for the past week. Day by day, his cough continued to get worse, so he visited Medac Clinic. He received medicine and is being treated for Bronchitis, though it is not confirmed that he has bronchitis. Whatever he has, it isn't too serious and he will get well soon.
It rained on us today, for the first time, while biking, since we left the colder states. The rain was actually refreshing and didn't last very long.
After the rain had finished, we spotted a large snake in the middle of the road. It had been run over, so it was dead, but the team still wanted to take a picture of it. The snake breed is a Striped Racer, and it isn't venomous.
While eating lunch, a curious couple approached us wondering what we were doing. We explained everything to them, and they were generous enough to donate to our cause. They then followed us to the ferry to say goodbye and wish us the best of luck.
We crossed over our fourth ferry of the trip today. It seems that the route Coast to Coast for MS is biking goes from mainland to island to mainland to island, etc. The ferry rides are pretty enjoyable though, and we saw dolphins!! So no one is complaining.
The team is constantly tired now that we are on the flats. The hills seemed tough, but they came with downhills that allowed us to rest. Biking on the flatland means that your legs are constantly moving. Regardless, the Coast to Coast team is doing great and the riders continue to improve daily.
Interesting Facts:
We bike faster than tractors. True story.
