Another Century into Gays Mills

I have not updated the blog for a while now, and I apologize. I will try and get caught up over the next few nights. Anyways, over a week ago we biked into Gays Mills, WI. The ride was 101 miles and covered in hills and gusting winds. Needless to say, the day was very long and difficult. We were going at a decent pace, but were probably not going to get in until about 7 pm. At this point we knew that there were at least 10 people behind us, so we were not worried about getting picked up by the van, until we saw it coming back and pass us. We got a little apprehensive and did not want to get picked up so we ended up picking up the pace a lot and booking it into town. Right before entering town we descended down a really fun hill with sharp turns. We got into town and hit 100 miles! The church was just around the corner and as we arrived dinner was being served. It was delicious and included baked ham sandwiches, scalloped potatoes, and veggies, among other items. After dinner we went over to the pastors house who opened her doors for us. We ended up hanging out in her family room talking with her for hours, which was nice. I ended up actually sleeping there. It was much more comfortable than the hardwood floor of the church.
