Sunday, 27Jun10, Lamar, CO
Today started off very early … we said our prayers and read our scriptures.
Breakfast was at 5:00 a.m. and load time was 5:45 a.m.
So we were on the road early … I rode by myself in the beginning.
Then I rode for awhile with Rand, his son, Will and his good friend … we were cruising along about 15 mph and I was waiting to see if Adella was going to catch up with me.
After a period of time I decided to move on up the road … and I guess that is when Adella caught up with Rand and he told her that I had just left because I thought she wasn’t coming … it was funny because she really sped up and caught up with me just as the SAG van appeared and she needed water and pulled off to fill up.
From that point on … I decided to hook up with Fran, Tony, and Wade … so we rode together all day … and … a total of 121 miles for me … 16.5 mph average.
We had 3 scheduled SAG stops and it was a long, long day.
Note: There are some very large “feedlots” in or near Lamar … with thousands of cattle being prepared for the market. (Check out the pictures on Facebook)
Also Wade had a flat and I must say … his father, Tony is very fast and very efficient at changing a tire.
We are now at the hotel catching up on the blog and looking for a quick snack before we have our scheduled dinner.
That’s it for today … talk to you tomorrow.
