Today we rode from Denver to Colorado Springs. Tough winds and rolling hills. We were riding like we could not get out of our own way. We had to pedal going down hill and still could barely break 35mph. For such an easy day on paper this turned out to be a very hard day. One of the reasons was we didn't get our first water stop until 25 miles and by that time we were hard pressed to get enough liquids in us to get caught up.
When we got to lunch we waited about an hour and forty five minutes for the rest of the group before leaving for the Air Force Academy. There we were escourted to the B-52 Bomber for pictures and a quick ride across the base. There was a lot of hurry up and wait. And a lot of very tired people when we finially got to our hotel on Garden of the Gods Road.
I was very pleased to find out my friend Caroline was going to meet me at the hotel. We had dinner together and again hung out and chatted. I was also able to intruduce Caroline to my new friends and she was able to help my friend Sabrina with a nagging injury. Caroline is amazing at finding what ails you and getting you to help yourself with stretching and exercise. Thanks Caroline.
