We had a fun-filled day and didn’t stay still! Even though we rode 8 mi, it was “unloaded” so it still counts as a “rest” day. Mostly. The success of the rest can mainly be judged by how our legs feel the following day while riding. Spoiler alert: they felt a lot better! We are definitely getting stronger again in just these few days of riding.
Our morning was spent exploring the park near the campground: the pier, the battery (cement bunker), and the beach at low tide. There was a lot of cool stuff to see! Then we made our way to town (about 3.5 miles if you go the way without the super steep hill). We got lunch at the Food Co-op and then did chores: post office to mail a few things we don’t need, buy some bike lube, get more fuel for our stove, and find another new chapter book to read at bedtime. Of course we got Daisy good coffee, too!
In the evening, a few of Daisy’s family members visited, and brought delicious burgers + fries for dinner. Yummy! It was fun to hang and chat. (Love you cousin!)
Overall, a very successful rest day.
