July 9 - Fort Morgan - Wray


I believe that we are going to be facing wind for the next few weeks through the Midwest plain states. Today was no exception as we made our way 87 miles to Wray, Colorado.

It was not an extremely exciting scenery day, but I will say that I have never seen so many cattle farms in my life! At one farm there had to have been 5,000 – 10,000 cows crammed into a couple acre lot. As you can imagine, the smell wasn’t the most pleasant, but the problem was made worse by the many cattle semi-trucks that passed every few minutes.

When we arrived in Wray, we were warmly welcomed at the WRAC (Wray Rehabilitation Activities Center). The facilities were absolutely fantastic with warm showers and an amazing meal. Many of the cyclists stuffed themselves so much that they literally felt sick to their stomachs. After dinner we put on a KOB for some children in the gymnasium. The guys did a great job with their acting and role playing. Once again, we are all exhausted so we are making it an early night to bed.


Tomorrow is another 95 mile day into the great state of Nebraska!
