Wow what a bike ride out of Little Rock! We had a great first 40 miles as we went over the most common thing to a Mountain Pass in Arkansas. It included great uphill battles and then an amazing downill with twisty curves. If you were not concentrating on biking down these hills, your life was in danger! Fortunately we made it out alive with no falls from any riders.
When coming out there was a great lake that served as the source of drinking water for Little Rock. Shhhh dont tell anyone but some of our riders swam in it! But that last 30 miles were a battle with the wind as we were on flat terrain for the majority of it. We tried a pace line that did not work that well!
When getting into the city, we went to What A Burger to enjoy a shake from the long ride! I ended up talking to the manager and was able to get the place to donate food to the whole group. It was a great hook up that we were able to connect. The rest of the day was spent biking around the campus of Arkansas Tech and chillen at the church getting some work done.
We had a great Town Hall meeting where we all get to speak our mind and talk about important matters within our group. It just lets people get their thoughts out and usually stays pretty tame but effective. Following that we had a presentation for Affordable Housing that went real well with a lot of dialogue from the group. I was real impressed with how we stepped it up for this presentation.
Well time to go we are getting kicked out by the library staff at the college campus! Talk to you all soon, What A Burger Rocks!
