Day 8
Huge crowd today, took the bite off of the wind to ride behind 6 other people. We met Byron, Jeff, Eli, and Ing in Caroline and they joined Adam, Michael and I on our ride to Cremonesque. A shorter day with a more relaxed pace, conversations abounded (though not for our support driver, whose conversation with Paul Kennedy was a little one sided) and the ride went much more quickly with company, partly due to Eli's multiple attacks on the field and Adams constant countering. It feels like we're back in home territory, one day out of Calgary and the family presence we've felt electronically the whole trip was out in physical force: we passed Grandma and Grandpa waiting like Tifosi as Jeff, Adam and I battled for the Primes in the last 20 km, and Dad and Sylvia joined us for supper as well. Scads of pictures today, so I'll pick the best few:
Thanks for reading and all the support.
