What a busy day for us … 65 miles to Provo from SLC airport.
Up early to breakfast … then loading and off to the bike trails on our way to Provo.
Right away an irresponsible driver ran into one or two of our cyclists … luckily they didn’t seem to be hurt too bad, yet,John’s bike was trashed. Later in the day I heard he had bought a new bike and is now back on the road again.
Also rumor has it there was another “slow motion” fall over as one of our cyclists came to a stop … no one hurt bad, thank goodnes.
Adella spent a lot of time finding our way to the In and Out Burger on our way to our 1st blood drive in Orem, then the 2nd blood drive at the Best Buy (using a mobile coach) and finally the 3rd blood drive at the Edgemont Stake Center … where they had a fabulous turnout (I’m not sure of the numbers) At this blood drive at least 5 of Adella’s friends showed to give blood. So we spent quite a bit of time there, thanking donors for giving blood and taking pictures with them. (see Adella’s Facebook pictures.)
Because of the late exit from the 3rd blood drive, we barely made it to dinner and then finally made it back to the room.
Tomorrow is another 75 miles to Price, Utah, then 67 miles to Green River.
Thanks for following our progress … talk to you tomorrow.
