Today we had a 75 mile ride and since we did not make the rack point the day before, 6 of us decided to be the first paceline and push through the day to try to get to lodging in time. The ride was mainly rolling hills and we gained about 1500 feet over the course of the day. We finished the ride in 4 hours and had some time to relax before lunch. Lunch was provided by the Lady Cowbells of Wyoming which is the same group as the Cattlewomen’s Association. We ate in a barn at one of the most famous bull seed ranches in the country. We toured the ranch which was really interesting and was really the first time I’ve ever been on a ranch. That evening we had a friendship visit with the Arc. They provided us with a delicious spaghetti dinner and I spent my visit playing on the jungle gym with Riley, an 8 year old boy with Autism. We got back to lodging with high spirits and played some intense volleyball. A lot of team members live in states where they have law prohibiting fireworks so many team members went out and bought outrageous amounts of fireworks which we lit off in the parking lot to end the night.

Thank you for visiting my Journey of Hope Blog! This summer I will be cycling across the country to raise money and awareness for people with disabilities. In 67 days, I will be cycling from the west coast to Washington DC to educate millions of Americans about looking at one's abilities rather than focusing on their disabilities. The Journey of Hope raises over $500,000 annually for Push America whose mission is "Building leaders of tomorrow by serving people with disabilities today".
