Today was another century ride for us. We rode 105 miles from Steamboat Springs to Breckinridge. I rode with Mike from Maryland and Kyle from Purdue. Both guys have had various bike problems so yet haven't logged as many miles this trip as others so I enjoyed pushing them on our long ride. We finished as the 3rd pace line which was a big accomplishment, keeping a great pace the entire ride.
About ten miles left in the ride it started to pour down rain. We haven't seen rain since San Fransisco, so it was a surprising change of pace. While muddy and wet, it was fun and have everyone a little adrenaline push to finish.
In the evening we ate dinner with the Rogers family and then went back to our awesome lodging.
To cap off the night I rode with our project manager to scout the route for tomorrow. We figured out turns and checked for any potential hazards. It was great to spend a couple hours talking to Nick and it was awesome to stop at the top of a 12 thousand foot mountain in pitch black and just look out.
Tomorrow is a shorter ride, but thoughts and prayers are still appreciated.
Love & Honor,
Beau
