Made it to DC! In the rain!!!




Saturday, day 12:

Boyscouts start their days early, and so did we today. We woke at about 830 to a breakfast of pancakes and orange drink and started our ride by around 10. Lots of thanks to Dave, Dave, Kyle, and Jesse (hope I got all your names right) for the food and fun. We started at milemarker 44 today an decided that we would finish the trail today. We rode to mile marker 17 before breaking for lunch, but just as we had packed away all of our cookware the rain came back. We thought about waiting it out, but soon just draped our ponchos over us and continued riding. Considering our trail ride along with city riding, today was a 50+ mile day.

We were welcomed at dennis' house around 6 or so where we were able to get our first shower in a week, and to clean off our dirty clothes. The night consisted of chili dogs and pbr at Millie and als followed by an attempt to karaoke at peyote where the dj was less than generous to anyone without a decent tip for him. Oh well, fun was had by all regardless, and Dennis managed to do some advertising for the blog.
