Short day but full of fun!

-Franklin to Arapahoe
Today's a short day! only 57 miles. So we decided to have a little fun. This morning we were given a list of 20 or so items, pictures, things to do along the route. Crazy stuff! Lets see... Before even leaving Arapahoe I was wearing a sports bra and sitting on a tractor... Then I ate a live grasshopper. Then 3 of us ate live minos, and I got stuck eating two! I ate a whole apple, core and all... I peed off the top of the van and off the top of a very tall hay pile about 25 feet up! I mooned a few groups, shot of fireworks, even bought a condom out of a bathroom vending machine! Other things on the list were to put peanut butter on the face of a leg leader, get naked in the bathroom of a opposite sex, get a picture with cows, a picture in the corn fields, a picture with some locals, picture with a motorcyclist, and lots more!!

Lets just say it was a fun day. Unfortunately before it was done Kristine and Connor managed to hit the pavement pretty hard in an unsuccessful 'pirating' (spraying water on a group while passing them) attempt. She has fractured her tailbone and got a concussion... But we'll see how long she is off the bike. We all hope for a fast recovery! She's a trooper.

Tonight is a home stay. We actually get to sleep in a house! with beds, and tv and internet, and LAUNDRY! and private bathrooms and other people. Its awesome. I'm with 3 other riders about 5 mins away from town. Great modern farm house and love the family. Dinner was great tonight and gotta get some sleep tonight!

Alright, off to Benkelman tomorrow and a day off after that!

Take care!
