Day 50, Birmingham, AL

The 60 mile ride to Birmingham proved to be the hilliest ride we've seen since Texas. Who knew there were mountains out here? Birmingham is a beautiful city though: lots of hills and lots of big, old trees. After some hard work, we were treated with subway for lunch, which was awesome. Afterward, we rode our friendship visit. It was a ton of fun; we played kickball and dodgeball, and made plenty of new friends. After the visit, we had another arrival at Samford University, where the local Pi Kapp chapter, the media, and the University's VP greeted us and let us raise the Samford Victory flag, a local tradition. By the time arrived at the Samford Athletic facility, the day was nearly gone. It was a busy one! Dinner was sponsored by a team member's parents for that member's birthday, and was an Italian feast. We just arrived back at lodging, and I'm about to pass out from exhaustion, but I had a great day. First day off in a while tomorrow!
