Fort Morgan, CO 100 miles!


Give us a mountain or some heat but please go light on the wind! That was the story of the day for the team. The wind was VERY strong out of the south and caused us to have a fairly tough ride despite the flat terrain. We all made it to lodging on time though and got to stay at the local Methodist Church. Today I decided to deck my bike out with a flag as a way to celebrate our amazing country's birth. We finally got a chance to clean our bikes today after going through the rainy mountains, some of us took them to the car wash and just sprayed 'em off. We also managed time for hair cuts before being treated to a sloppy joe dinner by the Elks Club. Following dinner we were very fortunate to be sponsored by a local laundry mat, what a great deal it was for all of us to get our laundry done for free! We ended the evening with a team gathering of appetizers and a pool tournament at a local joint called Cables. Today was the start of what I believe to be the heaviest mileage load in a 4 day span for the entire trip.
