Bike, eat, sleep... What a life. July 22

It was a routine morning. Crawled out of the tent, packed up camp and hit the road. We had to set up the tent for the first time in several days due to Colorado evening storms. We rode 35 miles and crossed the continental divide, 8859 feet. From there it was another 27 miles to Kremling, mostly down hill. We got in 62 miles by lunch which is a great feeling! We stopped at a grocery store, ate our lunch which consisted of ravioli, corn and ego's. We discussed maybe riding to the next town which would make it a 120 mile day. Due to being ahead of schedule, we found it more appealing to take it easy and enjoy the town. We rode to a local park, set up our hammocks in a pavilion and slept for 3 hours. I don't know if you've ever seen 3 guys sleeping in hammocks in the middle of town, but its a funny sight. We woke up around 6 and stumbled across the street to subway, where we all got a footlong. Afterwards we decided that we wanted dessert, so we went back to the grocery store to price some cookies. We ended up finding that all the baked goods were marked down for quick sale. Chad and I bought more fried food than any person could eat for total 3 bucks! Chaz bought a whole cake! We all shared and ate ourselves in to a food coma. We walked out as the check out girl commented on how much time we spent in the store eating, its great having nothing better to do. We rode back to the park and are laying in our hammocks again waiting for it to get dark so we can go back to sleep.
