We just arrived into beautiful Bozeman, Montana, and it was one heck of a ride. We haven't seen one day of riding that wasn't gorgeous mountains, lakes, and amazing weather. Today started off kind of gloomy, being cold and rainy, but after swapping out my bum tire for a teammates and riding for a half an hour, the rain stopped and the ride picked up. Don't get me wrong, it was still freazing for a good hour or two, but it was a nice ride anyway.

When we got into town it was a mad dash to the bike shop because about half the team had problems with their bikes, including me. They were really nice though, and they did awesome work on Beatrice. She runs like new.

After the bike shop, we had a really cool friendship visit at a theraputic rehabilitation center that does hand cycling. We were able to speak with a man who was in an accident a number of years ago, and began hand cycling a few years after that. He even let us all try them out, and believe me, it is alot harder on the arms than it looks.
