Rest Day 2

For the past two days we have had the pleasure of riding and hanging out with Tom Riley from York, England. He is riding around the World. He is nine months into his journey and has about seven months to go. He has already been thru Europe, Central Asia, China and Japan. Landing in San Fransisco and starting his ride across the USA the day after we started our trip across the USA. For the past two days Tom's touring bike has been hanging into our big truck and Tom has been riding one of our light fast Trek spare bikes. I hope we didn't ruin him from riding this

A Dawes touring bike which weighs over 100 pounds. After a long night out with all the youngsters of our crew Tom headed out toward Utah with I hope a big tailwind at his back and a safe journey to the other side of the US and great trip up West Africa back home to England. Hope to see you soon.

In the afternoon, our title sponsor State Farm had a very nice dinner for us and treated us on a tour on a steam train up to a copper mine. Here are some pictures.
