Day 37 Yuma to Fort Morgan


Today we finally hit a (relatively) big town!  After weeks of tiny towns in Nebraska and Colorado, it's a strange feeling.  We went to the first bike shop that we've seen in probably a week and a half, but unfortunately they weren't particularly well stocked... let's just say that the owner didn't know that Gatorskin tires were a thing... for those of you who cycle or are alums you'll understand why we were skeptical of the shop.

Thanks to our hosts tonight, the United Methodist Church.  We weren't sure what was going to happen with dinner, but Helen's mom was kind enough to buy all of us dinner at a Chinese restaurant.  Some days it's a bit uncertain as to where we're going to get dinner, so we really appreciate it when a parent or someone else swoops in and provides it for us.

Two things, one negative and one positive.  Unfortunately today Jocelyn fell and hurt her wrist a bit.  Hopefully it's nothing too serious, but she made the right call and got into the van for the rest of the day.  Second thing, positive.  We went to a post office to mail some stuff home (there are people who have WAY too much stuff), and I think it was the nicest post office ever.  Compared to Chicago post offices, where the lines move at the most snail pace possible, everything went so smoothly and quickly.  Fort Morgan Post Office: 1 Chicago Post Offices: 0
