Getting Lost Going to Janesville

The 65 mile day we had today turned out to be much more complicated than we thought. Within the first 3 miles we were completely lost and had no idea where to go. The cue sheet made absolutely no idea. Almost all 30 of us met on the side of a busy road and using the GPS, iPhone, and Blackberry, we were able to recalculate a route to get back on track. Lunch was also complicated because as the van was parking my group had rode past and eventually had to turn around and bike back to eat. The food was really good though, as we had left over cold cuts from the days before. Following lunch was more of the same story with the cue sheet. I had followed it for about 7 miles until it told me to turn onto 51, which happened to be about 5 miles in the completely opposite direction. So, I took out the Blackberry again and rerouted us into Janesville. Apparently people took several different routes to get there but we all made it, and it was a good thing we did because Ali Kolste's parents had a barbecue and boat rides set up for us. We spent the late afternoon down by the river water skiing and tubing before eating a feast with some locals. We came back to the church and had a quiet night after a long day of fun. Tomorrow we will be building, or rather destroying...
