Day 14 (6/15): Missoula, MT; Day Off

Team Photos

Nice and relaxing day off. After naturally waking up at 5:30 I promptly went back to sleep for a much needed recharge. I woke up around 9ish as most of the guys were getting up shaking off last night’s debauchery. A crew of us headed over to McDonald’s to satiate our craving for McGriddles and McMuffins…sure beats cereal and a bagel.

The rest of the morning I used to catch up on correspondence…around noonish most of the team headed over to the Laundromat…where we had some “good clean fun!”

At three I caught up with Brent and Ezra for some safety committee action before the whole team meeting at 3:30. We went over the next 6 straight days of riding (yowza) and did some debrief on our friendship visits…the guys are having some really positive experiences. It’s awesome sharing stories about the friends we’ve met.

After the meeting I rolled over to the post office with Chad, Country, and Ezra to do some posting (did I mention I’d write back to those who wrote? J ) When we got back Sollner had picked up some dinner: delicious burritos bought by another Pi Alpha alum from Washington.

Now a few of the guys are watching “300” on one of the laptops. Between the really cool scenes I’ll get a little work done before turning in. Sounds like we’ll be climbing some more tomorrow!
