Nate tends to snore... Tends to keep everyone awake when he snores... Nate, after I (Joey), moved outside to get away from the heat had to then, once again, be sleeping by Nate... I have failed at sleeping well, even though I was so tired last night. During our attempts at sleeping a fox came up to our site and just so happened to cunningly steal our loaf of bread! Sneaky little guy!
AND AWAKE FLASH! Sun is rising and its 6:30 am, everyone has lead weights in their shoes and is just dragging their feet. Nate and Matt enjoyed a morning shower then we all devoured a delectable breakfast of monkey bread! DELICIOUS! Top the morning off with a cup of jo and or tea in Matts case and we were ready to be on our way!
The ride today went sorta like this. HELLOOOOO AND GOOOOOD MOORRNNNINNNGGG COOOOLLOOORRAADDOOO!!!! Mountains and green and trees and valleys and cows eating grass and nothing pokey and did we mention nothing pokey and GRASS! I mean, Colorado, rain your glorious landscape into our awaiting devouring eyes!
The actual bike ride perhaps? We climbed around 3,000 feet and about a distance traveled of around 50 miles! The day consisted of three climbs, none of which that were all too hard (Baby climbs from what I hear Wolf Creek Pass will be like in two days...). We had some beautiful descents into green valleys of wonder, then we had some more beautiful descents into green valleys of wonder.
From here on out, its up and up and up and AWAY! Like the world is filling us with helium and we just be a few balloons looking for the best of views.
A few shout outs! First and for most, NATE GOT A TRIHAWK AMERICA STYLE! He had a wonderful stylist at Incognito Hair Salon in Durango, her name is Kim. They seem to not have a website, but if your ever in Durango, 736 1/2 Main Ave! Second goes to Mike Wilson! Met him at his crystal shop, where he sells CRYSTAL SKULLS!!! CRYSTAL SKULLS, INDIANA JONES STYLE! AWESOME! Third HOLLA' AT YA BOY goes to the Robert's family of Michelle, Bo, Haley, and Derrek: Mucho thanks for the support! If we missed you, don't worry, we still love you...
850 miles traveled thus far, only a lot more to go! As always, tell your friends, your family, your foes, and your dog so he can get in on this business too! Repost and share all day every day! Don't forget to tell your mom you love her!
