Rest stop 2, 18 miles to go

I finally found a power source and was able to plug in my phone last night. I'm feeling great, and can't wait to cross the finish with team athena. My parents volunteered today at the finish, should be a great finish line event. It's 72 degrees at 10 am, and I am thankful for no rain! :)

Team athena

Alexis and I loaded our bikes and luggage into a huge van this afternoon and set off. We rode from Belfast to Sunday River with 8 other athenistas, it took 3 hours, but we finally made it. We unloaded our stuff and all got into an SUV and now we are headed to registration. We are all hoping it won't take too long, but we shall see....

Alright, so I haven't posted enough....

Hi guys! (is anyone out there?)
The Trek is now officially 2 days away, and I am still trying to steady my nerves. I am getting excited to ride with team athena, this will be the first time I will meet most of them. Alexis and I (my riding buddy, and best friend at work) haven't gotten the chance to ride together as frequently as we would like, so the Trek will be a great time together. We decided to camp out on Friday night, and neither of us are sure why we did that. I can't imagine we will want to sleep on the hard ground after riding 60 miles. Saturday night we are staying in a hotel, and I am already looking forward to crashing in a big cushy bed. OH, and we just received confirmation from team athena that we will be staying in a beautiful cabin on Thursday night, and cooking a pre-ride dinner together. I think we are all looking forward to that!
My parents have registered to volunteer at the finish line, and are very excited to be there on Sunday to watch us come through (bedraggled I'm sure).

I cant think of much else to say, except how nervous and excited I am! I finally hit my fundraising goal of $500.00, and now I'm just trying to see how much more I can raise in 2 days! :)

Leave comments if you want me to expand on anything or explain stuff. (i.e. maybe why I am nuts enough to ride 180 miles?)
