ali mae's first post-YAY!!!

Haha, so...I know I have been bad about posting so far on the blog, but Alie and I are sharing her computer so I/we are posting stuff when time permits and the innawebs (slang for internet) is available. My goal was to do a photo per day for the trip and so far I'm doing alright. I only have one photo to post for today because I am in the process of editing through some stuff but I promise there is more to come!!!

Anyway, about the trip. It has only been three days on the road but so far it has been AMAZING!! Our whole group gets along really well, New England is b-e-a-utiful, and I am overwhelmed by the generosity of all of the people at the places we have stayed. I think that has been my favorite part...just seeing everyones' faces light up when we talk about what we're doing and why we believe in the affordable housing cause...it's kind of unexplainable honestly. Every day we've been waking up around 6am or 7, loading our bags into the trailer furiously, eating about 5 pounds of carbs, and getting started with the day's ride. The lengths have varied from day to day, but nothing over 60 miles yet. I would say it hasn't been tooooo too harsh, but if you asked me that while I was biking up a mile-long climb I would have a different answer haha.

The rides have been great. I feel like every town in New England is the cutest place on earth. The architecture is so classic and everything is well kept. I love it. We've had quite a few roadside adventures as well. There's been laser tag, rope swinging!, jumping in waterfalls, and MUCH much more. I wish I could write more but I am crunched for time. I've got ohhhh so many stories to tell though, so keep reading!!! <33alimae

OH and the picture (below) was taken just outside of Kent, CT today when Alie and I were riding. We aren't even sure what it is haha...just a small cemetery? A memorial? who knows....
