I have officially completed the longest bike ride of my life today! We started off the morning bright and early out of Dinosaur, Colorado. We were told in the morning that we would have a very tight “rack point” today. Rack point is a mile marker that you must pass by a certain time in order to continue the ride into town. Today we had 6 hours to go 80 miles, which is a very aggressive goal when you consider the amount of stops that need to be made.
My pace line and I were moving at a very quick pace through the rolling climbs in order to make it. As it turns out we made the rack point by 5 minutes and we were the 2nd of 5 groups. Since we made the rack point, we were able to ride the full 90 miles into Craig.
When we made it to Craig we had an official arrival into the Boys and Girls Club. We spent the afternoon playing Frisbee and Football with the kids at the Boys and Girls Club. We ended the afternoon by putting on a Kids on The Block show which was so much fun. In the evening, we had a friendship visit dinner at one of the local parks.
Tomorrow we have a nice short ride into Steamboat Springs. See you then!
