Being woken up at 3 am by intense thunderstorms is never really any fun, especially when your tent floods and you are sleeping in a pool of water. That is exactly what happened to my tent last night. The storm was really cool and fun to watch the bolts of lightning, but being wet put a damper on the fun, literally. It could have been a lot worse though. Some riders decided not to sleep in tents, but on the host's front porch. Although they did not get wet, the woke up covered in mosquito bites. Leaving in the morning was very slow because everything was wet, we had to break down tents, and no one really got any sleep. Once we did leave, the day was amazing. We ended up staying on a bike path the entire way to Duluth. The path was really scenic and quiet. I rode the whole day with Rachel and Kat who didn't think I would be able to because I generally ride faster than them and have no patience. I did it though, and they were impressed. We made our way into Duluth and were staying at a Temple for the first time. The place was awesome; they had a computer lab for us, and gave us a really good Kosher dinner. After dinner about 10 of us attended Shabbat services. It was really interesting and my first time. Once the service was over, we ate more and talked with the locals. It was a lot of fun to experience something new.
