We crossed into state #12! It's our final state and tomorrow we will be in DC. today's rides was quite enjoyable, as are all the rides that we know are short because we love knowing we have the option to go slow and stop. We got into camp (Poolesville High school) around noon and immediately headed to the local pool to shower and swim. The pools were great, yes plural...there were a variety of swimming options equipped with diving boards and mini water slides. The highlight of the day had to be dinner, which we ate at Bassett's fine dining. I had a steak salad with Sam Adams summer ale and a brownie sundae. Our first drink and entree were taken care of by Charlton and other entree options included burgers, chicken sandwiches, and turkey paninis. People gave a couple of toasts mainly to thank our amazing support crew for all their hard work. Of note, there is talk of the future of the Big Ride and what it holds, or may not hold. It seems the numbers of participants are dwindling due to the time commitment, fundraising quota, and other competing rides. So, I will be sure to voice my reasons why the ride should go on and if you are a past rider, please do the same (if you believe it should go on). I personally think the ride could be marketed a bit better, the accommodations were not all camping and we only had dinner in camp about 3 times SO it has been more luxurious than I imagined.
