Lansing, MI 70 miles

This morning we rode through some sweet terrain with subtle rolling hills, lots of green vegetation and very dense fog. It was pretty humid but a cool ride nonetheless. Once in Lansing we staged up at a park where the Luster family had arranged a gyro lunch and some hand cycles for us to try out on the sidewalks. We then headed for the capital arrival. As soon as we got on the bikes the weather went from being gorgeous all morning to a torrential downpour/flashflood for the three block ride to the capital. We were so soaked that once we got to the arrival we all had to cram into this tiny room at right for the welcoming speech. From there we rode on to the children's museum and once again had a fun time playing with all the simply machines and toys. After putting on a KOB for the kids there, we took a police escort to "Lusterville" where we were all hosted by about 5 different families and neighbors of the Lusters. It was great having a warm neighborhood welcome, laundry facilities, and a bed to sleep on. The dinner was a good time too as we all met in the neighborhood park for a delicious dinner topped with great ice cream from the local MSU creamery. Today we all got to meet Ben's girlfriend, Anna. It was great to finally put a face with the name and she seemed like a great girl.
