No Chain: Dateland Dance Party

Dateland community school (elementary thru high school all in one) is one of 2 buildings in Dateland Arizona, the other being the local convenience store, and were all sitting out in front of the school enjoying the beautiful evening. Another 80 miles of cycling down, the scenery improved a lot today, we passed through a lot of mountains and farms over mostly flat roads. A solid group of 10 riders led today which with everyone taking pulls on the front bumped our average speed to close to 21 miles per hour for the day putting us into this metropolis before 1:00 pm local time, giving us a lot of time to kill before bed time. So far we've had multiple games of horse on the basketball court, an easter egg hunt, and an incident with a school bus that we can't go into details about. We also all (for the most part) experienced and survived our first earthquake! It was located in Baja, California which were super close to right now and was measured at 7.2, the school we were in was definitely swaying so I ran as fast as I could to the parking lot! Overall its been the best day so far, we all needed good roads and a shorter day in the saddle after the beating we took yesterday so it's been a great recovery period (never thought I would say that about 80 miles of cycling). We figured out the sound system in the gym so were planning an Easter dance party for later. Tomorrow we head to Buckeye Arizona where were making a stop for obvious reasons and then its on to Phoenix. No Chain!
