Day 5: On to Carson City

Today was a much needed easy downhill ride. We are all pretty tired after all that climbing yesterday but were fortunate to have only about 30 miles of riding. Then we had an arrival at the Boys and Girls club. That was a blast and included a Kids on the Block puppet show. The show is geared to teach children how to interact and notice the abilities of people with disabilities. The show was very funny and informative. We also did a bike safety seminar for the children. Following our lunch at the club, we played field games and had a blast with all these kids. I had a small following of little boys that played baseball with me. Then we became "Team Push America" for a leap frog competition. We won the competition and earned otter pops because of it. Below are the guys on my team, Jacob, Connor, Alejandro, and Spencer. We are the ones holding up certificates. Anyway, Carson City is very nice and warm. We are all pretty excited to have our day off tomorrow so that we can rest our legs and catch up on some stinky laundry! Hopefully the internet access will improve.

I am writing this on our day off which has been great since we were able to catch up on the past few days. Hope everyone is having an awesome summer. Our North and South teams split in a couple days which I am looking forward to.

Tonight we have a dinner up in Reno so that should be a good time of brotherhood.
