Day two of the Triple Crown was completed today. What was thought to be an impossible rack point was also conquered; half of the team completed the 100 miles by the required 12:30. The ride was similar to yesterday's: lots of rolling hills and massive wind turbines. I rode with one of the best cyclists on the team today, and I can honestly say it made me a better cyclist. His name is Ethan Heine, and he's a manimal from Colorado. He really pushed me and helped me improve. Upon arrival, we had a fantastic friendship visit with the DRI, Developmental Research Incorporated. They had an awesome meal waiting for us, and I had a blast making some new friends while playing checkers, pool, ping pong, and Wii. The DRI was very impressive; it even had it's own chocolate shop that it's residents ran. The chocolate was delicious, by the way. After cleaning up at the local YMCA, we had a sponsored dinner at a local steakhouse. What a meal! My chicken fried steak was bigger than my head. Afterwards, we had a very long team meeting about safety and how the team is developing. I love all of these guys.
Tomorrow we will attempt to finish the Triple Crown on our way to Stephenville. God Bless!
