Day 39: Flat, fast and warm day. I don’t want to sound too confident but 75 miles seemed easy today. I think it had to do with a rest day and a sport massage and seeing Drew. The highlight of the day was a stop in Knightstown, IN where they filmed the movie Hoosiers. The gym has been renovated by the town over the years and it was a perfect place to film the movie. Hoosiers is true story of the small town Hickory Knights in their quest to win the state basketball championship over a much larger, big city team. We were able to take our bike shoes off and shoot some hoops in spandex bike short and tight biking shirts, what a sight.
The trip will be over 2 weeks from today, there are plenty of mixed emotions going on. I have made some close friends on this trip and shared some highs and lows with most of them. To think in 2 weeks we will part never to be together again as a complete group is hard to imagine, Until then though the goal is to enjoy each day and cherish every mile. Tomorrow we cross into our ninth state and head for Marysville, OH.
