Weather was great, skies were clear as we left Hardin. Doug and I paired up and as we left town noticed a museum off to the left, we pulled in and were quite impressed with the assembled collection of old buildings, many of which had been moved from their original locations, and assorted paraphernalia from years gone by. Covering many miles together allows riders to really get to know each other; Doug and I are no exception. The miles go by quicker when there is conversation.
Today’s ride was marred by a rather upsetting event. Our oldest rider, Cliff, was hit by a truck. While the particulars of the incident are still unclear, Cliff is okay, albeit, shaken, but his new bike is destroyed. It seems that he ejected off towards the shoulder while his carbon fiber bicycle was crushed under the wheels of the truck. We all hope that Cliff, after taking a short break, will rejoin the ride. This event really points how vulnerable we all are!
Night’s camp was at the Sheridan KOA. The kids on the trip are having a great time; lots of laughing, teasing, and listening to music. The night ended with a group meeting to discuss different ideas on departure times for daily rides.
