Lakeville to East Windsor, CT 55.9 miles

Ah well today was one of those"what was I thinking " days. Started out in the rain at 48 degrees and that's about how it stayed; rain , cold headwinds and hills. I wanted to see if I could do it and I did. Pretty tired now though!  And finally after six weeks, got to use my rain/ cold weather gear . It all worked-well pretty much worked- the key , as in cross country skiing is to keep moving. No pictures because of the weather but missed several lovely photo opportunities; an old historical furnace( it looked like a big stone edifice), the Farmingham River, the beautiful Norfolk, CT library built in 1888 and the scenic Saville Dam (all worth a visit in a car). So I'll show you how this big group of women is fed every night 
  Here's Emily our multitalented and
   always energetic chef

   With two burners in the back of this trailer
    and stacks of Dutch ovens with hot
     charcoal top and bottom...
   ......Emily cooks many magical things like this spinach 
   cheese,pie, breads,stews, soup and desserts

  1. I didn't expect you would have 40 degree weather on June 1 - UGH! Good for you for managing to ride on through the cold and rain and hills and head winds. Does that magic jersey do anything special on a day like today? How about a magic carpet ride - that would be great! 10 more days till the finish line - but I'm sure you aren't counting! You keep going girl - you are fantastic!
