Aberdeen down time....

June 25th
This morning we woke up at a nice leisurely pace without a care in the world. I got up and took a shower and let Kelly take her time getting up. When we were both showered and ready for the day we grabbed our stuff and checked out and headed back to my parents place. We had a few errands to run, like going to the bank and cashing some checks. When we were done driving all over town we went to my good buddy Doug’s mom’s house to pick up the BBQ and bars she had prepared for Kelly and mines meet and greet, it smelt delicious. We dropped that stuff off at home and relaxed for an hour or so until it was time to get our massages! They were absolutely amazing, a little weird being in the same room. I guess that the massage was so good that I fell asleep and snored a little. Kelly made a joke when we were done about how the massage was suppose to be relaxing but how could she relax with me snoring the whole time. After the massage we went home and backed our bags and loaded our bikes up and made our way over to the Eagles Club to help my mom set up the food and everything. The meet and greet went well. It was nice to see all the people come out and support us and our cause. We chatted with people about our trip so far and where we were going next. Some people wanted to know about our gear and what we brought with us, so we showed them how we cooked our food and some of our other neat gadgets. Some people picked our bikes up and wanted to know how much they weighed. My dad weighed it on his big game scale and my bike weighed in at 87lbs, that’s quite a bit and I’m sure it fluctuates from day to day a little bit. After that was all said and done we made our way back to Doug’s house to watch some of the shows he had taped for us. That’s where we spent the rest of the night relaxing until we fell asleep on the coaches.

Today we started off the day with the radio station in Aberdeen at 8:20 so not much sleeping in for this rest day. Were lucky enough to get up and get yet another massage that Bethlehem Church provided to us! It was yet again a wonderful massage. After we met Brenda Chances mom for lunch and chatted for a bit about the days activities. From there it was home to relax and get ready for the rest of the days events. We then ended up going to the movie the Proposal which was absolutely wonderful! From there we hurried home to have some delicious ribs, salad and corn on the cob! I can't wait to go home and be able to have delicious meals every night and tons of food in the fridge! After the wonderful meal we headed out to the brown county race way to watch some Friday night stock car racing! It was a good time and Chance was able to hang out with a couple of friends. Thanks also to the kind people of Aberdeen for your wonderful donations! Sadly, it started to rain and the races were cancelled early. We headed out to Chances friend who was racing and had some good laughs and conversation. From there it was home and to bed so we could be ready to ride in the morning!
