Flat # 2

Rode the day with Liz, and about a mile before lunch my back tire was low. So I rode it in anyways and ate lunch first. I've been craving chocolate donuts lately, so I had some of those. Then I pryed a small rock out of my tire and changed the tube. This was of course the best place to get a flat since I could use the big pump. So two flats in a row - I'm heating up.

Just before leaving, a stray dog appeared and raised it's leg over kyles helmet. It got a sprinkling as we yelled at it, but heathers camelback took the most of it. So glad it wasn't mine.

After lunch the wind picked up and it was Sarah me and Liz. Sarah was having the hardest day of the trip (just a bad day for her body), so I pulled both of them the 25 more miles into chinook. I really like pulling and working hard on the bike.

Upon arrival I spent an hour perfecting my song about mark. Mark is leaving us in glacier to go back and teach in America, so I rewrote John denvers song leaving on a jet plane. I'll post the lyrics when I perform it in glacier.

Then the past two days I've had about 2 hours between when I am hungry and dinner, so I took a nap so I wouldn't have to be upset I couldn't eat yet.

Town hall tonight, and I don't have any lows because my lows are my highs.

-falling out of the tent and getting all those flats with Angela.

Town hall wasn't as painful tonight as it normally is so that's good too.
