Day 58
July 29th, 2007

The ride today was only 40 miles. The ride has without a doubt the steepest hill of the entire trip, it seemed to go straight up and straight down. Unfortunately on the down hill side there is also a really tight turn that caused a few wrecks. Luckily no one was seriously hurt. Once we arrived at lodging we were treated to yet another wheel chair sport, quad football. The game is played just like a traditional game of football but in a chair. It was a lot of fun and quite the work out. After quad football we headed to a Cincinnati Reds game vs the Chicago Bears. It was a lot of fun to go to a baseball game. I had never been to a professional baseball game outside of Seattle. It was cool to see Lou Pinella and Ken Griffey Jr who both us to be on the Mariners. Unfortunately the Reds lost to the Cubs but it may have been a good thing because I think there were a lot more Chicago Cubs fans in the audience than Reds fans. After the game we headed over to a local park for a great BBQ dinner provided by a previous Journey of Hope team member. At dinner we also got to play a great yard game called corn hole. It is like beanbag horseshoes.
