Yosemite to Oakhurst

One of the riders Hannah had to leave for a few days and was supposed to return on our off day. However, we were told they had lost her luggage so she had to wait for it to be found. But...as we found out this morning it was not Hannah's luggage thy was lost, but the bike of the program director, Natalie, whom we love. She flew in a few days early to bike with us! We departed the host with Arden, David, Marcus and Natalie. However, due to the curvy and downhill nature of the roads we split up and it ended up just David and I.

The van was still in the shop, but the Captain's fiancé was visiting so we were able to use her truck as a SAG wagon and to set up lunch. Lunch was at mile 30 after a mostly downhill morning. We feasted on lunch meat with real bread and cheese. We regrouped as just David, Arden and I after lunch and immediately began climbing hills. We spent the last 40 miles of our day climbing and neither my body nor my mind was prepared. The host was straight up a large hill and on the way up Arden's chain dropped. I swerve to avoid hitting her and we stopped for her to fix it.

We had hose showers again and dinner crew made b-fast for dinner. We gave a presentation to a local BSA troop and worked some more on prom stuff.
