Back on the "road" - actually a bike path that took us to Silverthorne
We got a late start out of Frisco (9:00am or so) because our cousin Lee made us a huge breakfast to get us back on the road. We were warmed by Lee and her husband Palmer’ hospitality, and we needed it. Clouds had moved in and intermittent rain was in our future for the day.
Beauty Break...
Despite less than perfect weather, the ride was amazingly beautiful. We left Frisco going north around Dillon Reservoir, through Silverthorne, and then followed the Blue River down to Green Mountain Reservoir. We took a small road that went through Heeney, stopped at Kremmling for lunch, and made it through the Colorado River Canyon into Hot Sulphur Springs in good time.

I made some calls into Wyoming and touched base with some old friends that I hope to get a chance to see as we pass through their towns. I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about the return to Wyoming during the weeks on this ride. This is significant for me. I suppose one can never live 30 years somewhere, leave for five years, and return without it being significant in many ways. We’ll see how it goes as we get there. Patience is a part of the journey on a bicycle. That’s important equipment. Patience.

In Memory of Warmer Summers 
I was up early this morning checking my mail and a bicyclist rode past me as I came out of our local post office. I thought of the two of you instantly and thought about where you were and said a prayer for both of you that you were safe. I will continue to pray for you everyday. Again, thank you for what you are doing and God Bless you both out there.
