The day finally came
I was fearing that today would come. Since we had managed to make it this far I figured that we would make it to Boston without any major incidents. This unfortunately was not to happen. We were going along pretty well this morning. We left Aunt Deb's this morning in search of breakfast since there was nothing in her house. We found a great little place which served breakfast which was good for Billy, John and I and it was all organic which worked great for Meagan. We got back on the road and we were making good time. We got to Ware and we were heading through town looking for a gas station to get more water at and we came across some firemen washing their trucks who offered to fill up our camelbaks. We were chatting with them and one of them said that he hoped we rode fast enough to stay ahead of the weather. And with that the day was jinxed. We were heading out of Ware and we made it to the top of a huge hill when it startyed to rain. John and I started down the other side and stopped by the bottom at a nice little Inn. It was starting to reeally come down so when Billy and Meagan caught up we held there for a little while to try to wait out the bad weather. It started to let up and we left. A little while later Meagans Knee began to bother her. Billy left John a message saying that they were going to try to get a cab and we would try to meet up later. John and I kept on going and when we got to Spencer we went to Subway for lunch. John upon entering the restaurtant told me that he was goin to have two. Yes thats right two footlongs in one sitting. He is a champion and you have to fuel the machine. We then after talking to Meagan and Billy a few more times waited there to figure out how we were going to proceeed since they had not been able to find a cab that would be able to acomodate the bikes and them. We then started to realize that even at a great rate of speed we wouldn't be able to make it to Timmy's house by a reasonable hour and we really didn't want to be riding through the bowels of Worcester after dark. Thankfully Timmy was able to come out and rescue us after the idea to try to get a one way uhaul rental fell through. We are now here at Timmy's enjoying a brew and hanging out. Burgers should be ready soon so till tomorrow I am signing off. Wish us luck for our last day.
