Sorry it's been so long between updates. I got a chance to talk to dad a couple nights ago. He said biking through the mountains has been extremely tiring, but is going as well as can be expected. So far, he's been able to finish every mile. He's currently suffering from a head cold, but we all know that won't slow him down. In fact, he hit a personal best for speed. He hit 42 miles per hour on one of the descents.
I asked him how hard it is for the geologist in him to bike past the rock formations and not stop to take pictures or give lessons on sedimentary rock layers. He said he's so focused on getting through, he's actually passing by some of it. I wonder if the heat is getting to him...I didn't think it was possible to NOT stop at an educational rock moment.
Anyway, he's spending the weekend at our old stomping grounds. We lived in Denver during the 80's and my brothers and I were once Denver Christian Crusaders.
We ask for your continued prayers for dad and all the other bicyclists as they are finishing their "climb" to Denver and beginning their descent towards Grand Rapids. Hopefully, I'll receive some more pictures to post soon. Stay tuned!
