Bike & Build in Drake, CO July 17th about 1:00 pm

Just East of Drake, CO I was organizing my packs, then slightly startled by two girls on bikes that pulled up next to me with fast introductions and questions I could hardly think or answer. Then 2 or 3 more pulled up, then more, then more, all asking me "what I was doin?" "where ya from?" "Oh my gosh you have your dog with you!" so on and so on... finally I got a break to find out who the heck they were? "We're riding coast to coast with Bike & Build, Providence to San Fran!" awesome! where ya headed today? "Estes Park, you should come!" would love to but im peddalin 350lbs. up the mountain at 3 mph so theres no way I can make it there by tonight at that pace! anyways great fellow cyclists and I really enjoyed the meet and the visit, wish i could have joined em.... God speed to the Bike & build crew!!

Flat in Colorado on July 13th '09

My first flat tire!! while riding in Colorado towards Drake from Loveland on 34. Perfect time to turn on the soloar powered radio! And of Coarse Rad didnt know! He just thought I was getting down to his level to play! so while I took the front end apart I also got a slobery ear cleanin!! at least it made for an entertaining tube change!
