Happy Fourth of July! Everyone morning we wake up to a music mix put together by our project manager Jay. Today, we listened to some patriotic music and everyone was ready to leave Wyoming and get to civilization again.
At the border we all stopped at the Welcome to Colorado sign and got our picture taken. The fourth paceline showed up with smoke bombs going off as they rolled up to the sign. It was awesome, and it really got the team excited about the ride. The tail wind we got was also a nice change of pace.
At one of the crew stops we had brownies and watermelon that was left over from last night’s friendship visit. It was America at its finest. The ride ended up being about 60 miles (10 more than we were originally told), but the team was in some of the best spirits in weeks. We arrived at the Colorado State Pi Kapp chapter house, and had lunch.
Mike Wilbourne form nationals was there and will be with us for the next few days. I guess we’ll have to really follow our policies and procedures strictly for the next few days. (Good thing we got the fireworks out of our system early this morning) We are staying at a catholic church with internet access, and I am looking forward to fireworks tonight.
On another note, I got chain grease all over my jersey today. I guess it won’t be completely stain free when I roll into Kansas City and St. Louis.
