Dealing with adversity

We had our first encounters with adversity, other than weather. In an unfortunate accident, the RV was backing up and backed into something. We had three bikes on a rack on the back, including mine, and all three were damaged. We found a bike shop in Pueblo and have everything in working order again.

We also had our first fall. Bishop Hollingsworth went down on his bike last night coming down one of the mountain passes. The good news is both the Bishop and his bike are ok. However, we did pick him up a new helmet today at the bike shop as the one he was riding took a good shot. There is a reason we wear those helmets!

We are looking forward to making up some time going across the plains. Let's just hope the wind is out of the west.
