Lodi to Modena



We biked our little tails off today in what was our first serious day of riding. We made it to Modena after dark, around 90 miles. We had a great, cheap meal at the restaurant next to our campsite. Props to Will for being camp savvy - he boiled water on his Whisper Light International camp stove (which is running on unleaded gasoline in the absence of white gas btw), poured it into our water bottles and put them in our sleeping bag - toasty! We are exhausted and going to bed. Thanks everyone for following the blog and special thanks to Steph and Mom for your comments, it's a real morale booster. Peace out bean sprouts.
