Going craaazyyy!!

So I've been on a bus for 3 straight days heading to Dubois, WY. We've watched Friday night lights for 5 straight hours. It's the worst show ever. And the highlight of the trip is seeing car henge. Yeah. It's a replica of stone henge made out of cars. We stopped there twice. But actually the ride has been pretty fun. Lots of games and food challanges (Anthony ate a pound of spam). We've played ultimate frisbee or basketball every night.

We are planning on getting into town early today so we can go on a shakedown bike ride and do some drills like we did during orientation so that we get comfortable on our bikes again. Bike and build has been amazing through all this. We have the trip coordinator, Kristian, with us to help out. We had food and accommodations all this time, and they are even giving us bike mirrors so that we are a little safer.

The next two days are the steepest mountains of the trip. Tetan pass is on our second ride day. It's going to be beautiful and awesome, and I'm really excited. And totally nervous. Facing huge mountains and just being jumpy on a bike will be tough. We have such a strong team/family here, though. We'll all be great.




Wyoming is beautiful!
