Day 28 Empire, CO to Denver, CO Rockies lost!

So we woke up at 5am and packed up our stuff from the Lodge we were staying at.  We went outside and put all our Thules in the new pickup truck that we got since van 1 crapped out on us and we couldnt get another van right away.

We had our Breakfast and then hung out with Bruce, his family and the other ride alongs for a little bit before we headed out.

We left (Mike Jones, Luke, and I) and headed out towards Denver. We had a few small climbs in the middle until we got to Lookout Mountain. It was a really cool spot and I got some nice pictures and videos overlooking Denver.

We then slowly went down Lookout Mountain as it was very steep and had lots of switchbacks (and we were also the sweeps that day so we couldnt pass anyone lol)  So after Lookout Mountain we rode through town on the way to Sports Authority Field. We passed the Coors Brewery on the way and it was pretty cool.

We arrived at the stageup right next to SA Field.  We metup with the Trans America route and we all had Chipotle for lunch:)  After that we got to go see SA Field we got to walk out onto the field and it was really cool.

Then we hopped back on our bikes and rode along with the trans team towards the Capitol building in Denver.  We arrived and Push America's CEO Chad Coltrane gave a speech as well as Nick and Scott.

We had some ice cream and hung out with parents and friends that came to visit and after a little bit we hopped back on our bikes and rode to lodging.  We had rooms at the Mariott city center donated to us while we are here.

We had some free time in which I took a nap and hung out with some of the guys.

At like 5pm we headed out to Coors Field where we had dinner and watched the LA Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies which was interesting. It was a fun game but it was cool to just relax and hang out with the guys.

A couple of the guys and I went out afterwards to grab a drink at one of the local establishments and then came back and headed to bed.

Have a good night


Peace, Love, and Rockies
