After spending a night in a bed at Kent I felt so refreshed. It was amazing what a little bit of padding under your back and some privacy could do. That morning we were spoiled even more with what was in store for us throughout the day. Breakfast was at the Kenyon dining hall, that means hot food! I enjoyed eggs, bacon, muffins, coffee...I frequently turned to people in line who i didn't know and excitedly stated how happy I was and asked them if they felt the same. I forget that not everyone gets as excited about food as us. Once breakfast was over we all had one thing on our minds, Logan's house, which includes his pool. Logan lives in New Albany, which is about 10 miles away from the JCC in Columbus where we stayed. So our first stop was naturally his house. That day i got on my bike and I thought of nothing else but the pool for 40 miles. We rode at about 19 miles per hour and got there around 11:15. It was amazing. Logan's mom had a huge spread awaiting us. Fried chicken, mac and cheese, cheese cake, sweet tea...we spent the whole day eating and pool side where we checked out one another's tan lines.
Afterwards we all went to a minor league baseball game, but I'm pretty sure no one really paid attention. A really generous and helpful family of a past rider bussed us over to the ball field and got us tickets and free food, so that we would have a good time at the game!
Our whole day was made possible by so many people who put so much time and effort into feeding us, housing us, and making sure we had a good time. Thank you so much to all of those people! We really needed that little bit of relaxation and pool time!
