Yesterday Chad rode his bicycle 41 miles in 97 degree heat-- hottest day of the year so far-- and heat index of 108.
The office people at Grace had a meeting/retreat at Jack (headmaster) Appleby's house in Waterfall, PA. Chad was itching to ride around there since it's a very beautiful area that he's not been riding in before.
He carpooled up there with some of the office ladies, with his bike in their van. After the meeting was finished at 2ish, he set off over the mountain. Had lots of water along. Stopped to refill along the way.
He said 3 of the best parts of the ride: 1. going DOWN the other side of the mountain-- 3 1/2 miles of coasting! 2. the milkshake at McD's in Mercersburg :) 3. seeing Grace Academy where his car was parked. :)
A group from the church is going to do a 3-day 150 mile ride in August, like they did last year, only on a different route. Anyone else want to come join him?
