tupelo, ms - where elvis was born

today all 32 of us crossed our 4th state... mississippi! sarah and i got in very early at 1pm but it was also only 50 miles.

we started off the morning with a full decked out breakfast of biscuits with chocolate gravy (kind of chocolate syrup-like), bacon!, sausage, hash browns, and eggs. i even got to try syrup butter (more butter than syrup- by a lot) strangelt tasty but a little rich... mmmm southern food. i for sure had one to many biscuits.

the ride into tupelo was semi-miserable because every 6 feet there was a thump in the road and lots and lots of pot holes.. (jess got stuck in one today and had a fall and got 5 stiches) the rain probably didn't help

otherwise the rain felt pretty good, extremely refreshing until you stop riding and feel like you are wearing a wet sponge.

build day tommorrow, i hope we are more productive this time
