Day 69
August 9th, 2007

The day started off on the right foot with a great breakfast. We rode down the street to Country Cookin for one of the best breakfasts of the trip. They opened special just for us and had a wonderful buffet style breakfast. After filling our stomachs we hit the already hot road. Today's ride was about 75 miles and was just as hot as yesterday however, a lot of todays ride was thankfully in the shade. One the road today we were joined by Paul Drake. Paul has ridden the Journey of Hope 6 times! Once into town we had a massive police escort by 6 police cars. Two of the officers had also cycled the Journey of Hope. For dinner the team went to a sponsored meal at a local dinner. After dinner we all exchanged the gag gifts we had bought for one another. It was a lot of fun. After that a few of us went and saw the movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. It was a really funny movie.
