It's the tenth day of the Ride Against AIDS, and I am sitting in a building of an RV park on top of the Nevada/Utah border. We are at the Border Inn RV park, which is the ONLY sign of civilization for miles. The building I'm in has a restaurant, bar, casino, and convenience store inside of it--and, most importantly, air conditioning. Nevada, as it turns out, is incredibly beautiful (it has mountains an dramatic landscapes galore) but is also hot, dusty, and windy.
I apologize to those who have been checking this site for updates for not maintaining the blog better. I have been wanting to blog, but the first week of the Ride was so hectic that I was always too exhausted by the end of the day to write much of anything. Our camping sites the past few days have also lacked cell phone service and internet access. And, as I've recently discovered, strenuous, daily physical activity and constant interaction with a large group of teammates results in a reluctance to interact with the outside world. But I want everyone who has supported me either by donating to FACE AIDS or by encouraging me to know how the Ride is going and how I'm doing, so I will work harder to establish a routine of updating this blog at least a few times a week from now on.
I'll continue to post reflections about the past ten days the rest of the afternoon. Thanks for reading!
