Church Camp Day 3 and 4

Day 3 was interesting. We had breakfast and then JJ and I headed out on the bikes. We did 15.5 miles. It was a nice ride. We seen a couple deer, snapping turtle and turkeys.

Snappy!

Second to last climb.

We got back from the ride, showered and had lunch. I then headed for home to do some laundry and head to mom's for the weekly visit. Michelle had some issues at camp and I got back around 10:15pm.

Friday started out good with a nice breakfast and I did the devotion. I stayed at camp and helped Michelle and did some bike maintenance. We had lunch and JJ and I went out for our ride. We did a little exploring and ended up with 17.5 miles.

Turtle rescue, back to the pond.

We got back and showered. Then it was time to get supper ready. Mom and dad came out again to visit and we also had some other kids join us. We did devotion right after supper.

A camp fire was started and then we played Apples to Apples. Another good day.

We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so? I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out. I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good. This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens. I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb.
