ou/athens ride in

finally left columbus this morning. really sad to go, i think i even biked sad the first 2 hrs or so pedaling very slowly. we all thought the weather was going to be terrible because we woke up with rain, but that cleared up within an hr of riding and the weather was perfect the rest of the day. ride was actually quite beautiful with all the hills and creeks we passed over. had slow and fast rolling hills the entire way, and besides the traffic getting out of cbus and the few directional mishaps, the day was perfect. we finished with 93 miles that were really not all that bad. funny how a 90 mile day now seems reasonable. finished at ou where nora (1st yr) had set up a great event where bobby, kem, and seth had a great discussion about poverty and health with many at the med school. they also arranged home stays for us here which is always a treat. a few of us are staying with christina, fourth year at oucom who went to centerville, then osu and knows both vishal and namita. small world. columbus wore me out so im gonna go to bed early tonight and maybe post the few pictures from the day at a later time.
