Day 31: La junta to Lamar

The team had grown quite attached to La Junta, and we were a bit sad to leave for Lamar. Especially after the great biscuits and gravy breakfast that was cooked for us by a few locals the team had met last year. This was a real treat too, because it was surprise, since they didn’t contact nationals they just saw us in the newspaper and decided to come by again and cook for us.

Today’s ride looked like it would be tough because of a strong headwind, but the team was in the groove, and we were able to crank out the 55 miles to Lamar in pretty good time. I went to lunch at sonic and a few of the guys who went with us had never been there before, so that was sort of cool.

For dinner we went to a lady’s house. She cooked us burritos and chile. It was pretty good. Afterwards we went to the local pool for some free night swim. It was fun, but a bit cold, so I left a little early so I could update this blog.
