This bike was on the wall at the brewery. It turned around a chain ring and produced energy to power the lights in the room. It was pretty neat to watch it spin until we all started getting dizzy from it.
Todays ride was short and sweet. The weather was cool enough to keep us from sweating too much during our ride. Upon arriving in Fort Collins half the team headed to New Belgium Brewery to take a tour. It was really neat to learn about the company and see how some of my favorite beer is made. After the tour we headed back to our hosts house Margee and Bills house for dinner. they had roasted turkey and chicken, lasagna, homemade ice cream and blue berry cobbler. They also had a local massage therapist and bike mechanic. Most of the team received amazing massages and a tune up for our bikes. After dinner and dessert three of our teammates gave a presentation followed by many questions from the neighbors that helped with the festivities. I am truly amazed and appreciative at how each community we stop in is supporting us in this journey we are taking. This trip has helped me realized how giving people can be.
Today I rode for my teammate Katherine's mom. Her mom died when Katherine was only eight years old from a brain tumor. Over the past few weeks I have gotten to hear more about her moms fight and Katherine's quest to learn more about her mothers life. I know Katherine has been thinking about and missing her mother a lot this summer. I also know that her mother would be so proud of what she is doing for her.
