Day 14 Rest Day in Billings

Day 14 Rest Day in Billings.

After the storm last light the dorm cooled down and we got some good sleep. I slept in until 9:00 or so. Started laundry and then a whole pikle of us walked down the local Perkins for breakfast. We were told that hte cafeteria at the hospital actuallyh had pretty good food, but we couldn't quite bring ourselves to do that.

After a huge breakfast, I came back and started blogging. I reallyh wanted to go to the movie, but wanted to get teh blogging donw. It is more timeconuming that i thought ot download the pics, identify them, label them aqnd write all the entires. I would up spendingh te whole day blogging. About 3 I headed down to the local coffee shop that had iinternet access and uploaded. I met Liz there and after about 3 hours we had had enoughand headed out for dinner.

We were on our bikes so we actually got to ride around and cruise teh old parts of downtown Billings. It is a cute town and is larger than I expected.

We wound up at the Montana Cafe Brew pub and foudn the other 20 cyclists in the back room. WE all had a dinner and a laugh. Then we headed back home.

Repack our gear, did some more laundry, and took another shower, just because I could. It felt great.

Here is Dave Lambert, from Michigan, my dorm mate. He is demonstrating the proper techinque of packing. When you need your foot to hlep squash it in, is that a sign you have packed to much?



That is life on the Big Ride.
