Unity to John Day

Today we set out for a shorter mileage day expecting a fairly hefty climb. Anticipating the activities of the evening, we rode with our Prom dates for the night. Earlier on our route (somewhere in Kansas) we all drew 2 names at random to ask them to "prom" or basically just a fun night that we all spend together. I drew Aaron and Albrecht. Asked Aaron through a t-shirt I hid in his laundry, and we asked Albrecht through smoke bombs and changing the words to our daily cheer. 

Back to the more recent: we climbed for 10 miles. Descended for a few. Climbed a few more. And then raced a storm down a mountain. Along the race we found a wagon that we couldn't not stop to take pictures of...because we're on the Oregon Trail y'all. 

We made it to lunch and I napped through the storm in a local coffee shop. After lunch, it took us a whopping 28 minutes to get into town (all downhill). We stopped at a thrift store to prepare for prom (our theme was hunters). We then had time to nap, snack, and prepare before heading over to another church to share dinner with the Portland 4k for Cancer team (in costume). We looked ridiculous as we had folks dressed as powderpuff girls, bandits, rednecks, and some fellas in dresses and as Princess Leia. 

We then headed into town to a local brewery and participated in all things prom. 

Bins out isn't until 10:30 tomorrow.
