yawn

wow i can't believe the last time i blogged was last saturday...i would say time is flying by but this week has been long, hot and boring again. despite that though i have still been having good days, perhaps i'm more conditioned so these 150k days through the heat aren't so bad. on thursday lawrence and i killed it and cleared 153k in 4hrs and 26 minutes, avging 36.11km/hr haven't worked that hard in a while. as a result the first 70k today were terrible. we stopped in at a little cafe though and talked with a few groups of ppl, a biker even was going down the street and then turned around to talk to us. in the cafe a local baker was havin lunch and was so impressed with what we were doing that he went back and brought us two fresh round loaves of bread. we gave one to Walter, one of the SAG drivers. this week has been crazy with accidents. it seems everyday people are having serious falls, i think in the last week and a half there have been like 9 pretty major falls. wednesday was a sad day as i realized i forgot my favorite pair of shorts at the Wray community pool on monday...i've probably worn them like 8 times...(sigh). Kaitlyn fell...again...but her ego never seems to take a hit.(lol) lawrence fell, twice, his first one was going 10km/hr while looking back and yelling hi to someone, at which point he went over his handle bars into a ditch, his second one was doing about the same speed at which point he got hit my a car...or should i say he hit it...it was a parked SUV...lawrence is ok, although he has been having a rough week as tonight doug fell into lawrence and sat on his plate of food in his lap. you may wonder why i'm talking about others, i think its cuz not much has happened this week. i guess i did get politely asked 5 times to dismount the bronze horses in front of the invesco stadium in Denver (the bronco's home field) well i guess my life is pretty boring right now. that is not meant to offend all you people working hard out there...well maybe i am rubbing it in a little. Enjoy!

Theo,

I know you don't blog that often but I enjoy it when you do. I am enjoying the "younger" viewpoints on this tour.
