"Ya'll be careful of them bears"

Hi All,

Our tour north continued today as we skated through rural Virginia. The scenery was pleasant skating alongside acres of tobacco fields, cow pastures, and farmland. We even managed to meet a bull with two large baseball bat sized horns. While all of us were a little timid by the 800 pound animal, I quickly recalled from my cartoon days that bulls have a natural attraction to red. Consequently, catching the bull's eye was Carson's bright red shirt. The bull crept towards us with a glimmer in its eye as it neared Carson. Realizing this bull was far bigger and more fierce than all of the other large, dangerous bulls Carson has previously encountered, we quickly jumped in the van and drove to safety.


Our skate ended after a grueling 35 miles. Today concluded a whopping 125 miles in only three days, and the only way to truly reward such effort is through our weekly tradition, "cheat day". For those of you that are not up to date on our blog, every Sunday we take a day off from our strict "rollerbladers' diet," and eat fast food. All of the boys indulge on this tradition (except Carson who wore his skirt to Wendy's tonight and ate a salad) by feasting on Wendy's infamous Baconator Sandwich...and the 1600 calories that came with it.


Packed day tomorrow in Richmond. Time for some sleep.

Cheers,

Dan T.
