Tonight I am writing to you from the tent because it is thunder storming. It is kind of peaceful out when it is raining. There is a family pulling up to the campgound and I am going to go help them set up the tent while the rain is kind of lite.
Today I road about 50 miles to the Natural Bridge KOA. It has been a long day and alot of climbing (surprise). I made it to Lexington in pretty good time and hung out at the bike shop and ran into another biker going eastbound. We chatted for about 5 minutes and exchanged notes then we were on our way. I started on my way to Natural Bridges which was only about 12 miles, but guess what I was climbing the majority of the way. All I could think about was food and jumping into the swimming pool because it was so ot out. I really enjoy riding early because it is still cool out but at noon the heat kicks in.
Eventually, I made it close when I noticed a country farmers market. I stopped and got some fruit and homemade pasta which was amazing. I countined toward the campground and stopped at a diner for a milkshake to cool off. I finally made it to the campgound and I went straight for the pool. I hung out in the pool for as long as possible and then made a fire with dinner. Overall today was a great day and I had alot of fun.
