One of the best days so far on the entire trip. Aside from having great tailwind all day thanks to the fact that we were headed somewhat east to Fort Collins, we had a great view of the Rockies to the west side (thankfully we didn't have to climb them today... they'll be here in Wyoming). The route was also great, with a ton of bike lanes between the two cities. Somehow Fort Collins seemed almost equally as bike friendly as Boulder, so really no problems with cars or anything of that sort.
But what really made the day was the fact that several of the alums rode with us. I rode with Bradley, Kelsey, Peter, and Jocelyn. Unfortunately Bradley didn't have time to fix my bike this morning (really bent rear derailleur oops), but I rode Jamie's bike so it was ok. Actually, today reminded me a lot of the first day when we rode out of Baltimore (seems like years and years ago... and yet also so close). All day we swapped silly stories about different 4K teams, stopped at a 711 for a free slushy (July 11, 711...). We even had no bike problems of any kind. What a great day.
Meeting up with San Fran in the morning for dedication before leaving separately
