JUST ANOTHER DAY CALLED MONDAY
A century ride, and then some… 165 k ....
Jenna, Brent, Annette, and I rode the day together. And the only way that we managed to ride with Brent was because of our 20 km detour the wrong way on a cycling path. The only reason we discovered this mistake was due to the fact that the bike path ended abruptly to a road that was not part of our map, nor was it located at the right mileage. Needless to say, we turned around and headed back to where we came from and got on the right bike path following the river into Denver and beyond. Tonight we are staying in Fort Morgan. Wouldn’t you know though, that all day we were faced with a head wind, or cross wind. Who ever told me that the winds predominantly blow from west to east and that is why the tour is going from west to east must not have been a cyclist. For where there are cyclists there is wind that generally against them. I believe it just makes us stronger, and look at it as training for even longer days.
One stop along the way we talked to a trucker, and he was much impressed with the adventures we were having and the willingness of us to serve.
I really appreciate the support and the emails I have been receiving, so thanks to those of you who have taken a moment to do that.
As well, I believe that my blog is open to anyone who wants to comment. I changed the settings, and if you would like to comment on the blog, or anything else, maybe points of interest, things I should do, places I should go, people I need to talk to … drop me a line, I am open to all comments and thoughts from those who read this! Again thanks!
RALPH and his flat...oh Ralph, are you not glad we rescued you?
This is how you keep your tent from flying away...aha Jenna- you have Annette working hard for you. Okay, it was terribly windy until after supper, and then of course not again until you cycle next day!
