Today was my van day. AK rode with me as her back is still bothering her. We stopped in the am for some delicious coffee and got on the road. We had a great day of bonding chats. It was a rather rainy morning so we decided to pump up the awesome at first lunch with some minor dance parties. Everyone was riding super fast, and snuck up on us. Second lunch was the best. After some more deep chats, we pulled into second lunch about 2 minutes before the first riders (who had actually stopped to wait for us since it was taking so long). And the ultimate dance party began. We danced everyone in and out of lunch, running down the road after them when they took off to tackle the last 15 miles.
We literally danced for 2.5 hours straight. The greatest moments were after sending each rider on their way and then dancing back down the shoulder to the trailer to greet the next crew.
The dancing continued when Kira and I went in the third shower shuttle to the University of Minnesota. We hooked up the stereo system to listen to some oldies while sudsing up. It got awkward when Kira noticed that one of the doors opened and closed in a place where no one was supposed to be. When we opened it to see what was on the other side, it was dark, so that made the community dance showers seem a lot less fun. So we took showers in the enclosed stalls, and I kept my eye on that door the whole time. CREEPYTOWN. But there’s no one better to be in creepytown with than Kira.
Tonight after dinner and our presentation, we voted for prom court. Liz and Michael spent all afternoon interviewing all 10 candidates, and we got to watch the hilarious results and vote. It was nice of them to be inclusive and allow us to be a part of the process. I can’t wait for the announcement in Rugby, ND!
Tomorrow is our longest day to Devils Lake…115 miles. Bed time.
