Icing my knees the night before the cold snap/rain day.
I rode in the van today (with strong knees) and ran crisis interference at the 20 mile SAG stop. Subaru had a low tire and needed repair so the van took the first SAG stop. Emily opened the kitchen to make popcorn and heat water for hot chocolate. The 7 people in the van gathered all their extra clothing to contribute to the wet and cold cyclists as they came through. We also improvised with plastic bags and non-latex gloves from kitchen.
Best of Day: Stayed warm and dry; Oysters and clams on the half shell for lunch in East Windsor; Brother (who lives here) of one cyclist on tour brought us wine and cheese before dinner tonight; Everyone who rode today arrived safely.
Worst of Day: Rain and more rain expected. Cold front moved in with temperatures in the 50’s (lowest today was 46 degrees); Watched and worried about hypothermia.

This group of bikers have developed a strong sense of community.
