Day Twenty: Build and Bike - Yellow Springs

 As a result of some route reorganizing, we made the day into Yellow Springs, OH a Build and Bike day. We woke at 0500 to build with HFH of Columbus, and then cycled the 52 miles to Yellow Springs.

The build went very well. Habitat of Columbus is completing a nine house project north of downtown, and we were able to help with finishing work. I did touch-up interior paint work for an entire house.

Today was our first flat ride. I ride with Jane and Ellen (Jane's mother) to our lunch stop at a Wal-Mart, battling on and off rain, cool weather, and headwinds. Keith (Jane's father) met us at lunch, and we time-trialled into town. I was holding 26 MPH on the flats, pulling Keith along behind me!
