Sunday. Voorhees, cloudy then RAIN (Bike-A-Thon)(Ben Franklin to Bader Field)(68 miles)(5.5 hrs.)(3400 Kcal)(Wt. 186)

 6/12/22: Woke 4AM, went to Ben Franklin Bridge with bike via Lindenwold Station, got to base of bridge, raining, then saw flash of lightening over the bridge with a tremendous boom.  Started biking in the rain and for the first 16 miles was raining pretty steady, let up then would come down pretty good. Stopped at 2nd rest stp and the skies opened up with heavy rain, I was under a tent until the rain let up a little.  Then rain on and off until just before I hit the US Airforce base.  Basically rode through 3 major rain cells.  Total mileage 68.4 miles using 3400 Kcal.  Stopped and 2nd and 4th rest stops, about 15 minutes each.  Total running time, 5.5 hours, with elapsed time being 6 hours. Absolutely SPENT.  Did not even try to bike from Bader field to New Convention Center where the train station was.  Took shuttle, I had to wait an hour for it to leave Bader field, which was K with me since I needs to rest. Got home took a warm shower weight 186? and went to bed around 9:30, woke up 3X, first to P/S, then to urinate, and last one at 6, had to poop again. Went to "sleep" for an half.
