The route was adorned with stunning scenery that captivated us all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this leg of the ride, my wallet and phone took an unexpected detour out of my pack! In a frantic search, I traversed a hill three times, hoping to locate them. Despite being just a mile from the final rest stop, it was the kindness of fellow volunteers and one particularly compassionate cyclist who joined me in the search that led to the miraculous recovery of my phone and belongings, all intact. I then continued the journey, accompanied by a wonderful group of cyclists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campus of St. Joseph\u2019s College was equally beautiful, albeit hilly! I had the opportunity to test an e-bike, and we were all treated to delicious pizza and ice cream\u2014a delightful reward after a long ride.
