Day 25 of 28: Greenville, AL to Eufaula, AL

111 miles / 7:13 in the saddle / 5,358 ft of climbing

Tough day with steady headwinds and a sore hamstring making things harder. Grateful to ride with a big group to start and then with Bill, Brandt, Howard, and Jacki who pulled me most of the day—thank you! Got a massage and started icing, ultrasound, etc to treat the swelling and to get as ready as possible for tomorrow—we are getting so close, 3 days and a little over 300 miles left!!

The great news: Julie meets me in Georgia tomorrow and will be with me for the rest of the tour—and then a short vacation! The Lions play at 4:30 EST, so here’s hoping I roll in on time to catch the game.

Go Lions!
