Day 12: Delta, UT 105 miles

We crossed into Utah this morning. It is crazy to think that two states are already behind us! In the early morning hours of our ride we had a sweet experience of an antelope running alongside us for a few hundred feet. Eventually it crossed in front of us but it was pretty cool watching it "race" us for awhile. The ride was pretty enjoyable with more more scenery and pretty flat terrain. The last few days have been very hot but as long as you stay moving on the bike the breeze keeps it tolerable. Once again, I rode with Winston Allen and Josh Woodmansee. We had a great time rocking out the country music all day. Its pretty fun to just think of a song and the whole group will sing it making the day go by very quickly. Today as we got closer to Delta, UT the project manager, Josh Smith, pulled my group over and asked me to hop in his car to do a phone interview. It was pretty sweet knowing that my little 15 minute interview would be broadcast nationwide, helping to spread the word about what we are doing. The feedback from teammates was great too. Most of them got to listen to the interview live and said it was great and that I have a good radio voice, maybe I should reconsider my career path? I don't know. Anyway, at right is a picture of Josh that I took while we were riding. He is from Colorado-Boulder and has become a good friend of mine. We had a great dinner of chicken cordon bleu sponsored by a local organization the the county commissioner. Following dinner the second group of Kids on the Block performed for a local group of kids. The night was highlighted by a trip to the local shake joint, Leos Cafe and a trip to the movie theatres for a discount movie sponsor. We watched Cars and pigged out on popcorn which was awesome. It was cool to see the movie since right before the trip I got to tour Pixar Studios and learn about how the movie was produced.
