Suffolk, Virginia

The day started off with a wonderful breakfast prepared by the church we were hosted by. Then we headed off to the beach and had our wheel dip ceremony. We all lined up along the beach and on the count of three dipped our wheels in the water. We will have the same ceremony when we get to the West coast. It was a really special moment for all of us. We then got on our bikes and started riding. It was a really good day, no major problems with the directions (a small hiccup, no big deal). The weather was good and I got to ride with a couple different groups. They all rode at different speeds which spiced up my day. About half of the group, not me, stopped at a strawberry field and picked a bunch of berries. They were really good. We are in Suffolk now at a really nice church (with tons of sleeping room!), getting ready to watch Up and then get to bed early. I am exhausted. We have all been eating a crazy amount, I'm sure it will only get worse. We got to do some yoga this afternoon which was good for our muscles. Our group also decided that we were going to do pushups and sit ups to match the number of miles we did each day. We are all going to be ripped by July.
