2016 TransAm/Western Express Day 42 - Dolores, CO
Yesterday I forgot to update the blog, but that's ok because through the miracle of modern technology I can update it here at 8:30 am in Pleasant View, CO and nobody need be the wiser! I spent most of yesterday in a pace line with Mike and Mike and Shannon and Matt (yay Matt's back). Pace lines are incredibly fun and the most social part of cycling where you trade off fighting the wind. As a result I didn't take many pictures, so boo for that. But the last evening in Telluride I got to go stand up paddle boarding at Alta Lakes with their local SUP club - for free! - a really nice guy named Shaun runs it, he was about my age and had lived there 7 years. It's interesting to get an insight into what life would be like if you lived in a place like that. It's cool, but also limiting, I think. For example he had basically given up on having a relationship - nobody really to date. Anyway, the cycling is still amazing and today we'll hit the Utah state line.
Oh! I almost forgot to mention; I am having so much fun doing this I decided to sign up for another "tour of duty"! This time I'll be route leader for the Pacific Coast. More details later but if you can donate please do at http://tinyurl.com/AdamBikes
