The team had a great first day in Chapel Hill today! The 65 mile ride was another beautiful ride of rolling hills through North Carolina. Today was different, however, we had a lot of family, friends, and chapter brothers of our North Carolina guys set out along the route cheering us on. Riding with such support is so energizing. We had a lunch arrival/small FV at the Pi Kappa Phi Chapter house at Chapel Hill. The house cook made a great lunch and the chapter/families made us all feel so welcome. They even made a massive welcome banner and had a band play for us. And they gave us some awesome t-shirts they made, too. UNC is awesome!
The hospitality here is incredible, too. We are being put up in the Sheraton just off of campus, where we had some down time before heading back to the Pi Kapp house for another delicious meal. The chef made us pork tenderloin, baked beans, slaw, and some magical southern side called sweet potato casserole. It was so nice to have a home-cooked meal.
After dinner, Mike (Roanoke), Matthew (GWU), and myself grabbed some gelato on the main campus street and ventured the massive university. After a couple of hours, we called a cab to take us back to the hotel. We were exhausted, but it's a very impressive campus. Here's a few pics of the banner/band, a sunset I thought was beautiful, and a clocktower on campus.
