Washington State University

This morning we woke up at 6AM and headed to the Washington State Pi Kapp House where the made breakfast for us. They had bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and omelets ready for us. It was all very delicious! After breakfast we had a 75 mile ride to Spokane, WA waiting for us. So we got on the bikes and hit the road. We mixed up the pace lines again and did even more amazing today, and beat the rack time by almost 2 hours! You can tell that we are all getting way more comfortable on the bikes and we are all slowly getting in better shape! It is amazing to see the progress we have made from just 6 days ago! Having better success on the bike has made the team more excited about the summer and biking every day. You can tell that it is slowly bringing us closer together and making us a better and better team! Ten miles outside of Spokane the Pi Kapps from Washington State University brought us pulled pork sandwiches for lunch. Lunch tasted great and we are greatly appreciated for both meals they sponsored for us. When we all got done eating a police officer came to do our first arrival. We were all very excited about it and couldn’t wait! We set up in two pace lines of 11 riders and then had one van in front of us with the other three behind us. It was amazing to be escorted into the town and made us feel even better about what we are doing. Escorts like this are a lot of fun but also bring us a lot more attention from the city. We were escorted all the way to the Christ Redeemer Church where we will be staying for the next two nights. The building was very old and cool looking. It had all sorts of hidden rooms and secret hallways in it with a basketball hoop in the main room, which we all enjoyed very much! For dinner we were fortunate enough to have the Sear’s family invite us over to their wonderful home right outside of Spokane. They had amazing food including lasagna, which is my favorite! They also let us enjoy their pool and hot tub! "The only disability in life is a bad attitude"
