Century Day
Somehow we decided that it'd be best to ride straight from Providence to Cape Cod. So we scarfed down donuts, a big pot of oatmeal, and coffee before the 110-mile ride. Although the sun was beating…
We had Cape Cod in mind as a first checkpoint for the trip, and Greg's parents generously hosted us for several days. We took turns cooking, played games, and watched movies together. Steve and Eileen pampered us with delicious meals and homemade beach plum jam while the adorable Nikki kept us company throughout our visit.
While at the Furlongs', we took the opportunity to catch up on some tasks. Greg fixed his phone with the help of a kit sent from home by our housemate Eric. Much to our surprise, he had thoughtfully sent us some snacks as well! We took Greg's bike to Idle Times (a favorite bike shop of ours we once visited 3 times in one day), and it felt brand new once they had serviced it. We also made stops at Greg's grandma and grandpa, enjoying hearing about their childhood on the cape.
