The day began with a very solid 55 mile ride into the heart of Atlanta. Our hotel is right in the center of downtown. We saw a lot of the city on our way in, and I can honestly say Atlanta is a very nice city for the most part. We grabbed some lunch at a burger shack in Olympic Park, and then headed to the zoo for a small friendship visit. The Atlanta Zoo is very impressive. I had never seen pandas before until today, and I'm in love. They just lay around all day and eat bamboo and sleep, which is very appealing to the life of a JOH cyclist. After the zoo, we headed to an alumnus' house for a delicious sponsored feast of steaks. There were many alumni and even members of our national council. After dinner, we were connected to an alumnus who has a child with CP and started a foundation to help raise money to cure CP because of the lack of government funding for such a cause.
