Day 24 Craig, CO to Steamboat Springs, CO Easy day yay

So today we woke up at 6am and got to meet Bruce Rodgers.  For those out there in internet land who dont know Bruce is I will tell you about him.

In 1987 Bruce decided he wanted to spread the message of Push America across the country and his method was to cycle across the country.  Ever since he did that first ride the Journey of Hope has been happening every year since and growing every year.  Bruce co-founded KRG Capital which is an equity firm and every year he sponsors the Journey of Hope and basically makes it possible.

So we met Bruce and his family (Wife: Sally Son: Layton Daughter: Madison) and Bruce and Laden rode with us today from Craig to Steamboat Springs.  The will also ride with us tomorrow as well and all the way until Denver

The ride today was very easy and took us about 2.5 hours. We left about 7:15 in the morning and arrived a little after 10.  It was a lot of rolling hills and that was about it.

We arrived into town and went to the highschool where we unpacked and setup our beds.

Me and a few people went out for lunch at a place called Double Z's BBQ which had really good food but didnt accept credit cards :(

After that I came back and took a nap and at about 5pm we headed over to a gentlemans house that was hosting our dinner and having a friendship visit. We visited with the clients of Horizons of Steamboat Springs and did some dancing and eating and having fun.

After that we had an hour to kill before we went out to the local ice cream/Candy shop as Bruce was buying us all ice cream and candy.  I got some Jelly Bellys:)

After that I headed back to Lodging where I am writing my blog and now going to bed

Have a good night


Peace, Love, and Beans
