Wow! What a great first day. We left later than most people, but that is typical for us when riding the tandem. We will make up time. Massive start, even an hour after the route opened. We rode about 30 miles to the breakfast town. I have waffle bites with bacon and peanut butter. Sooo good, but I needed someone to eat half of it. Theresa had steak and eggs. After some coffee, we rode on to the meeting town. Time for some pie and lemonade with peach! Theresa even got a tattoo! Next stop, Quimby. Did you know that wine slushies are a thing?? Well they are! It isn't going to drink itself, so Theresa enjoyed on the back of the tandem. There was "Pie for Cancer". Can't pass that up. After Pie, we rode the last 10 miles with Joe. Fun, chill pace, chatting about how awesome our day has been. Along the way, we have ridden fast with tandems and singles alike. Lots of fun banter and chatting. And it's only day 1! Time to hit the showers, then off to the expo for dinner and music.
