I'm now with a group ride, headed to Detroit for the US Social Forum. While I love solo bike touring, it's really great to be riding with many wonderful people, committed activists, and eating the amazing food being prepared for us. I'm working on the medic team, and assisting with some legal stuff. The medic team work has mostly been pestering people about sunscreen, hydration, and a little poison ivy treatment.
In Rochester we were hosted by the incredibly generous and kind folks at the Flying Squirrel Community Space, where we did some volunteer work for them: replacing damaged acoustic ceiling tiles and painting all of the tiles in a room that's about 100 feet by 40 feet, removing a non-functional urinal from a bathroom, painting trim, cleaning and organizing their kitchen, and I removed an unused commercial kitchen ventilation fan from a wall and covered up the vent hole, and hole in the wall.
Tomorrow we're doing a group work project at the farm for the very kind folks hosting us at the Massachusetts Ave Project of the Grant Street Neighborhood Center.
Lots of pictures to follow, but today was 92 miles from Rochester to Buffalo, so I'm exhausted. BED!
