rest day


We spent this day with Mike and Sophie Cosgrove. Mike was the gentleman who helped us fix the spoke. He is very proud of his tiny town and wanted to show us some things.

we saw:

1. the painted hills. spectacular hills in blue, red and white. Mike knew the ranger that ran the park and so we got a personal tour of some of the cool areas of the park where they were thinking about building trails.
2. Chum Long How museum. this was amazing. crazy curses abounded. we have proof.
3. elvis presley as a native american. (steph and I danced in front of an audience and got a resounding applause.)
4. a great shower and a great bed.

Mike and Sophie are wonderful. thanks for the memories!

I'm glad you guys got to rest. You guys rock! I can't believe all that you've done so far. I can't wait to hear more. And this Mike guy, sounds awesome! I'm not surprised, you guys make friends everywhere you go.

Steph and Bill - Colleen here - from church in Portland, OR.

So good to meet you a couple of weeks ago - have been watching your adventure online.

We rode our 70 miles yesterday from Forest Grove to Cape Lookout, OR. We had 16 riders start, 15 finish and NO FLATS!!! In 10 years that has only happened once before I think.

Anyway - keep smiling and keep peddling!!

Steph,

Sounds like you're having a great adventure. Miss seeing you're smiling face at 5:30am. Matt overslept last Friday. Could have worked out with you instead. My goodness that boy doesn't have his head on straight sometimes. ;-)

Enjoy the ride,
Cindy
