Visited with Dan and Monc all morning, then Dan drove me to CO Sprgs to meet up with Larry and Laurel Dunn, who I met on a bike ride way back in 2001. We’ve kept in touch over the years and finally got to meet up again. We had so many stories about bike rides we’ve done. It’s like we just saw each other yesterday.

Larry took me to several bike shops to look for shoes. Mine are 22 years old and falling apart. So sad. Of course, I couldn’t find what I wanted, so had to order them and have them shipped to a friend in Eastern Kansas. They should get there before I do. We talked and talked and talked, then went to dinner at an Italian place. Loaded up on pasta for the ride.

I’m out of the mountains now and headed to flat Kansas. Please pray for no severe lightning storms or tornados. Those are my biggest fears. Tired and ready for bed.
