Today was by far our quickest ride yet. We met up with Bruce Rogers, the founder of the Journey of Hope who rode the ride solo in 1987, as well as his son Layton who rode today, too. His wife, Sally and daughter, Madison also accompanied us this morning for our circle-up. We started riding at about 7:15am and were off the saddles by 10:00am. This has given us a lot of time to explore the beautiful city of Steamboat Springs.
We went to the Orange Peel Bike Shop shortly after we arrived where I added another laptop sticker to my collection along with a new pair of Colorado cycling socks.Our team has recently fallen in love with all of the cool socks we see along the way, and I guess it is a way that we can customize our look from the otherwise uniformity of our jerseys.
For lunch we dined at a local Mexican restaurant. While a little pricey, it was still very good and it was fun to sit on the patio and talk to passersby and tell them about the Journey of Hope and what we are doing this summer.
After many hours of much needed napping we headed to our friendship visit. Our meal was sponsored tonight by Mark Fitzgerald, a Miami alumni and one of the founders of our Pi Kapp chapter. The entire team got up and active and danced with the clients at the visit.
After dinner we had a little bit of free time so I performed some routine maintenance on my bike.
To cap the night off we were treated to ice cream and candy at Fuzziwigs, a local candy shop in town.
Tomorrow takes us 105 miles to Breckinridge.
Please pray for the team on our long trip tomorrow and thank you for checking in.
Love & Honor,
Beau
