It was the summer solstice, the first day of summer in the USA, fathers day here, we rode 190km in 100+F heat, the wind wasn't any help except over the last 6km, we ended up in a town that is "dry" and the only restaurant that was open was subway.... how do you think we are feeling? There are many ways to describe the group but very few of them are about "energised", "raring to go" or "can't wait for tomorrow". This was by far the toughest day include all those climbs in the Rockies. It was also Andrea's last ride before she returns to Perth for 10days to sort out the sale of their business. She is looking forward to that first G&T on the plane and who can blame her. Stirling effort (get it ??). She has promised "I'll be back". The remaining hard men and the token woman Trish (or so Howie described her) will push on without her. Please wind, blow from the west tomorrow? We sleep in hope ....

"Sale of the business"? It does look like Rodney's gone feral but will he never return? Or doesn't he know what Andrea has in mind?

Blazing Saddles! Not looking like a whole lot of fun. Stay cool dudes. How can there be a "dry" town in America?
