Rest days provide a chance for maintenance, not only of body and soul, but also you do laundry, perform maintenance on the bicycle (al least oil the chain and pump up the tires), rearrange your luggage, catch up on some email, get your beard trimmed, finger nails painted, and so forth.
Last night we enjoyed sunset on the lake. A BAC tradition is a nightly “happy hour” or “map wrap” as some call it. You not only socialize with snacks and drinks, but you may recall something interesting on the day’s ride and then will discuss tomorrow’s ride directions and food opportunities. These are fairly low-key events. But last night there was a singer on the beach, compliments of the resort. When he started at 5:30 he had an audience of two. But our happy hour was within hearing distance. It started with a little applause but quickly turned into a dance session, mostly with our female riders. Our participation brought a bigger audience and the singer enjoyed it so much he performed 3 hours without a break. I’ve been on over 50 BAC tours and have never seen dancing; even three ex-board members participated. Check out the video below.
