Joe showed up at breakfast with his right hand all wrapped up from the doctor. Turns out he does has a fracture to his thumb. They said it is going to be best for Joe to get an operation on his thumb on our rest day tomorrow. But that is tomorrow, today Joe is riding with us! He is one tough guy!!
Todays ride is broken into two parts again because we needed to shuttle 25 miles around construction to stay on time for our planned festivities in Salt Lake City. The first ride was to a Vererans Center in Provo where we hung out for an hour waiting for our shuttle ride to a Walwart parking lot where we had lunch and waited to start our 30 mile ride to Peace Park to hang around before going to downtown Salt Lake City. Hurry up and wait.
We had an amazing welcome into Salt Lake City and Gateway Plaza by The Adaptive Sports Expo. There was even a stage and live music. Nice.
Larry and I have been having all kinds of issues with our tandem this week. From a warped rotor on our disc brake, too a new chain and now we need a new cassette. On our ride from lunch to Peace Park we were riding with a badly skipping chain and just a front brake since we just pulled the rear brake off. Brakes are over rated. Our bike can't wait for a rest day rebuild.
Our dinner was the best so far, easy. We ate at Thaifoon Taste of Asia . Wow, what a great meal and a great time with great people.
To top off the night, Glenn had a radio interview here somewhere and was able to get us into the Nickleback concert at the old Delta center( not sure what it is called now). Twenty five of us went to the concert. Very cool indeed. I only lasted about 12 minutes before by ears had had enough from very load music that I just didn't understand.
