day 85

today was a shorter day from charlestown up to providence. we mainly just rode the highway on up to providence; we also got to ride on some good bike paths for once but it was short lived. at one point during the ride, two racing cyclists blew past me and one said, "on your left" a little too condescending so i thought i'd teach them a lesson. i then broke away from matt and evan and started hauling it after the racers, yes i am still fully loaded and they were a couple miles ahead of me but i soon caught up to them and gave them a little, "on your left" treatment but kinder. it was just amazing to see that i could pick up some good speed and pass racers while i was fully loaded. we rolled into providence but our host, diana, was still at work so we hungout downtown and grabbed some donuts. we then stashed our bikes behind her apartment and walked down to go watch "the other guys" (this isn't a movie reviewing site, but one of my other blogs is, but not at the moment so i'm not going to go in to much depth here). it was mildly entertaining but wouldn't recommend it. diana was home now so we went over to the house and just chilled with her and talked about our trip, providence, and her job. we then left to go get some jamaican food; had some wonderful curry chicken, after failing to get some jamaican food in philly several times. we then went to a pastry restaurant and got some cakes to go. that evening we all just sat around at chatted but for a bit we jammed on the guitar, harmonica, and melodica. it was nice to play music but it'd been a long long time. i then routed our final stretch from providence, rhode island to boston, massachusetts! thats all for today, folks.
