F-RIDER-day

So a Bike & Build special tradition is a 'game' called Highs and Lows, where everyone goes around the room and says a High and Low point either of their day, their week, or even their year (yes, I'll be there for you). So I'd like to start each blog posting with a High and Low for you all to enjoy... and if you'd like to comment, try a High and a Low!

High: Donated Cheese plate from church + proactive riders helping to clean the kitchen!

Low: I'm missing my little sister's graduation tomorrow - but congrats lady!! You're awesome :) Make sure Erin takes you out for a celebration drink for me!

I apologize for not writing sooner, but there hasn't been too much to write about just yet, we're doing a bunch of orientation stuff, like policy skits (which are always hilarious-good job riders!), eating of course, icebreakers like "Common Ground", cue sheets and a wonderful leader shakedown ride yesterday.

I'm still trying to figure out a structure/method/format for this blog (it's my first time ever blogging, and it's weird that you're reading my "journal") So bear with me as I figure this out. I hope you enjoy reading it, and following our trip. Don't forget the handy dandy route tracker on bikeandbuild.org

So.... It's F-RIDER-day! The riders are here!! We have a great group of riders, it was so cute when they were all getting dropped off today! A bunch of parents came, siblings, friends, etc... meeting everyone and their mothers was a treat for sure. Everyone's backgrounds and stories are so interesting too, it'll be a lot of fun getting to know people as we move across this fine continental United States.

I apologize for the short post, but I've GOT to go to bed, early rise tomorrow!

Bananas eaten so far: 3, maybe 4.

Peanut Butter & Jelly's: 0 (I'll get my first one tomorrow!)
