Today's fifty miles went rather smoothly, with everyone that started the ride finishing. We arrived at the Double Tree of Ontario late in the morning to be greeted by the mayor, a Pi Kapp brother from USC. He hooked us up! The hotel is very nice, and we are always happy to have beds. The team walked down the street for a quick lunch at In N Out, which I still believe is thoroughly overrated. Californians don't know good beef.
Unfortunately, our friendship visit this afternoon was cancelled by the center, but we had one more exciting activity planned. After a delicious sponsored spaghetti dinner, we were all presented and awarded a certificate at the city council meeting. It was an interesting process. An elderly lady accused the council of having "fat pockets," after which asked the lady to "get her facts straight" as she strolled out of the hall with her walker. After that, our project manager described the Journey of Hope and how it benefits people with disabilities. After the meeting, we rolled back to the hotel, where I am about to open a new book I just bought called, "The Heart of the World," by the British explorer Ian Baker. It's right up my alley.
