Joann Van Vliet Update

Joann has been trying to update us with pictures and messages all week, but cell phone and internet service is very poor.
Here is a little bit that we were able to receive from Joann. She says that she will get us a full report and pictures upon her return.


Monday was a long and tough ride from Shenandoah to Creston!  The ride started out with cloudy skies after our thunder storms yesterday but made our morning very comfortable as far as cycling, the roads were even amazing as far as clean from debris.  The towns we went through were amazing, people were parked from cross roads to homes (farms) on almost every hill...and there were more hills than I could count, providing fresh lemonade , watermelon slices, fresh pickles, every kind of homemade pie to just made ice cream!  It almost seemed like the towns we went through took the day off to welcome use and take care of every need we had to every desire we may want or not want.  

I myself struggled with a minor "knee" situation, sort-of-like the one I had with Sea to Sea in 2013 and starting with all the hill back then...a little ice and some ibuprofen, and I should be good to go for tomorrows ride!
