Day 2 - Cherokee to Lake City

Let me start by apologizing for not posting last week; we did not have consistent Internet access in all the pass through and overnight towns.

Today's ride started off well, but it got hot fast. We stopped in Hanover Village around 8:15 am and it was still cool with a little cloud coverage. Hanover Village is teeny tiny; had it not been for the droves of cyclists we would have completely missed it. By the time we left at 8:45 am the sun was out from behind the clouds and things were heating up quick.

Emily and Elizabeth

Today was a short ride for me as I only rode the first 29.3 miles (total route for day 2: 62.0 miles). I felt bad leaving Elizabeth on her own for the remainder of the day, but was relieved when she made into Lake City and told me about a new friend, Emily, she had made along the route.

Tonight, we stayed in a church that hosted a spaghetti dinner and served over 1200 cyclists. Most of our team wanted to go to bed early, but those that showed up for dinner did not clear out of the church until 9/9:30 pm.
