back to the beginning.....

the Beginning of the Colorado Rocky Mountain Bike Tour, that is.....

( Since I was without a laptop all last week, I'll post some notes about some highlights (and lowlights- though few) about the event & experience....

Starting with... Indoor Camping

 Here's my stuff!

Sleeping on a ThermaRest mat, on a high school gym floor, next to a guy you never met before who snores like a train, is not the best way to start off on a 475 mile week of riding the Rockies, but so it goes.
It is humbling, and somewhat revelatory, to live with so little- but you soon realize that you have so much. I didn't unpack a third of what I brought, and I soon made pretty good friends with my snoring neighbor.
Thank God for small miracles!
