Day 2 BBBB Ride

Day 2 BBBB ride done! Everyone rode well and we were able to finish just before it started raining! Hooray!! In Tarboro tonight and the final leg to New Bern tomorrow.

A little over 100 miles today. 200+ miles ridden with 100+ more to go.

Lunch was at a small spot at 57 miles. The BBQ sandwich and hush puppies I ordered hit the spot. Desert was my favorite chocolate cupcakes! We ride to eat!!

We saw a first today….a pickup truck was “towing” a horse. Truck was moving slowly with a horse in tow!!

We’re rotating 2 mile pulls so with 10 riders the pulls don’t come around too often. Plus we ride at the slowest riders speed so it’s a really comfortable pace.

It was raining too hard to go to the local brewery tonight. But there was a Mexican restaurant across the street so we swapped margaritas for beer.

Coming soon!

Lunch!

Good food

Waiting on our lunches

Margaritas!

The gang

Good food!

It’s made me realize how much I’ve missed doing multi day rides. I think that’s my niche.
