The 4th of July is my favorite holiday. The reasons? 1. We get to celebrate America (hell yeah!) 2. Fireworks (who doesn't like fire in the sky?) 3. The food! (mmm, mmm good). The Bike & Builders had to ride on the 4th despite it being a holiday but it made for a wonderful day. We had a ride from Granby, CO to Kremmling, CO and it was only a 27 miler which is the shortest ride we've ever had. Unfortunately the short ride didn't deter the strong headwind that met us for most of the way.
We still got to Kremmling in killer time and got some yummy lunch (a cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, corn nuggets and an M&M shake for Lindsay). After that we had to set up the campsite for our first official night of camping. We made our own little commune with cute tents of various sizes that had to fight the wind and rain. The downside to the day was that it was freezing cold so Lindsay had to layer all the clothes she had just to keep herself somewhat warm.
Later that night, a group went to the town square for the fireworks that they light from the cliffs. We were surrounded by kids with sparklers and men yelling "Yeah!" and "America!" The Bike & Builders even got their own sparklers and ran around chanting "Bike and build!" It was a good night for fun, friends, fireworks and America.
Peace and Chamois Butter,
Babycakes
