Day 14

Elevation graph glitched, but it was all a gradual downhill. With the tailwind too, it almost felt like cheating! Just look at the moving time, 3 hours to go 55 miles is quite fast for me.

To escape the rain, I wandered into this nature center. They were technically closed but one lady was still around and she let me drip dry on their carpet and look at their turtles. We chatted about the area and she reccomended me a bakery down the road.

I just have to make a quick edit: I was sitting at a park table and a man drove past. I must have looked cold or something because he stopped, asked my name, and then reached back and handed me waterbottles and chips and juice, saying God had told him I needed something. In fact, I had just drunk the last of my water and was lamenting the mile I would have to bike to the nearest store. His name was Carlos. I don't often pray, but I'll say a prayer of thanks for your kindness. Absolutely above and beyond. I thanked him over and over in person, and I'll thank him once again here. He had just been celebrating a successful kidney transplant in the park this afternoon.
