Day 15
Billings - Rest Day
Spent the day doing NOTHING. Actually did the normal things like wash clothes, clean and lube the bike and stock up on food items. Cheryl, Tom and myself had a very leisurely lunch and then I took a nap. Sound exciting????
Tomorrow will be a short day, 58 miles, but there is nothing out there to look at. I tried taking a nap on the bike but it didn't work our so well. Sometimes you do kind of daze off. We have no services after leaving Billings until we reach camp so I hope our staff sets up rest stops.
As I mention earlier we have quite a spread in age. The youngest rider is 18 and the oldest is 73. Which do you think is faster, yes the 73 year old... The 18 year old is part of a mother - daughter team. They are the last out of camp, the slowest and probably having the most fun. They always seem really happy even when they don't make it to camp on their own power.
