colorful colorado...all lies

this week has and is a pretty tough week, these 150k days are just a little too long, and the freakin straight hot chipseal no scenery roads are really starting to tick me off. my bike is continuing to fall apart as the other day one of my spokes broke going 70km/hr plus down the backside of our unmapped 50km climb day (150k total). i did get my seat replaced though which has been a lot more comfortable. the ride from Wallard bay to Salt lake city the other day was awesome as it was 100k of urban sprawl so the roads were pretty good and there was always something to look at. we also checked out the mormon temple which was pretty sweet, there were like 7 weddings going on there. the foyer for the joseph smith memorial building was unbelievable with a huge chandelier and 4 ft diameter green marble pillars etc. Salt lake is a pretty wealthy city and i have a picture of a 500k rolls royce to prove it. a few people are starting to get sick (little lawrence just got a cold this morning) so i am trying to stay clean. (just for you mom) dynamics are still pretty smooth but there's a little more gossip starting to arise as people learn each others quirks (i am guilty of it as well). I'm spending a little too much money i think but i just found out i have a $3000 of unkown funds as i received a gst income tax credit so i think i can do it without too much guilt. nothing too exciting overall though, i'll try to keep you posted.
