Today was a very fun, very chaotic day.
We started the day by having breakfast at McDonald's to kill time before our friendship visit with the TRAILS organization in Salt Lake City. Trails provides people with disabilities the opportunity to do many outdoor sports, such as cycling and cross country skiing. We were fortunate enough to be able to test out some of the hand cycles; they are incredibly challenging but also a lot of fun.
We then dined at Whole Foods for lunch and departed for Park City. I was privileged to do a ride along with Jeff Perelman, a 5 time summer event Pi Kapp who also sponsored multiple meals for us. He was great to ride with and offered a lot of helpful advice for life on and off the bikes.
For dinner we dined at a pub in downtown Park City and then were able to wander around the town. It is a gorgeous city with a lot of awesome local shops. We got ice cream at a place called Java Cow, a little pricey but totally worth it.
When we arrived back at our hotel (our first in 2 weeks) a lot of us hit the pool and hot tub for the night. We sang, danced, played sharks and minnows and most importantly just had a great time winding down.
Today was our shortest day riding the bikes, but we have finally reached our crammed packed part of the summer. I am loving every minute of the trip and really looking forward to what else our great country has in store for us.
Thanks for checking in!
Love & Honor,
Beau
