A more challenging day: more miles, too-steep-to-ride hills, a 10 mph headwind, and a frustrating process to get into our room. The day started out great, a very good breakfast at the Ragsdale Inn and perfect weather.

Billie to the heavens above, “If I could have just one wish, please drop down an ice cold cappuccino to me right now.”

Miles = 34
