So I think today is the first day I'm actually posting on my blog the day of a ride! Well, we left Yellowstone today but not exactly on our bikes. We were not allowed to ride out of the park into Wyoming due to road work and some nasty downhills, so for the first 27 miles of our ride, 14 of us packed into the van and thank God for the Almanza's and their truck who were able to transport all of our bikes. Unfortunately, the 27 mile ride put us right at the end of the uphill... It was smooth sailing through the new scenery of Wyoming. However, lunch hit and BAM, another headwind! So it wasn't a perfectly smooth day but can't really complain. When we arrived in Cody, MT there was some kids selling lemonade on their front lawn which was across the street from the church we are staying at. A few of our crew decided to go get some lemonade and after conversing with the kids the next thing you know the kids asked their mom if we could do dinner with them and next thing you know we bombard this family's home for a nice spaghetti dinner with lemonade:) We have seriously met some extraordinary people along our journey this far. To open your home to 15 perfect strangers and cook them dinner and share your lives together is truly amazing. There really are some great people in this world! Tomorrow, we head for Bighorn National Forest. The first 75 miles should be lovely. If the scenery is anything like today, we'll have plenty to look at during our flat stretch. However, the last 10 miles we climb about 3,500 feet... yikes! I'm a little nervous, not gonna lie, but I've conquered each of the treacherous climbs thus far so I'm hoping I can do the same tomorrow. Prayers are always appreciated:)
