July 24th - Gould to Ft Collins
Today we had a 52 mile descent. It was spectacular, except that Steph got a flat halfway down the hill, which I patched poorly, because the patch failed. So I patched it again one mile later. One mile after that the patch failed again. So steph patched it. Steph’s patch held for about seven miles before we had to pump it up again. So for about thirty miles we pumped the tire up every six or seven miles. Whew!
When we got into town we found a wonderful family to spend the night with. Rita and Tom Brown work for the forest service and have a wonderful house and spectacular garden. (steph and I are inspired again!)
We spent the whole night talking and laughing with the family. Such great people! The "Oh Shift" sign was in their kitchen...left over from when they were cheering on some cyclists at a race.
