Tour de Wyoming - day 0

The short story is this: back on March 1, which is registration day for this ride, our buddy Ed didn't get signed up via the online system before the ride was filled to capacity. He then turned on his charm, called Amber, the ride director, begged to join his four successfully registered friends, promised her wine and thanked her profusely when she said OK. A picture above records Ed making good on his promise.

Ed, Frank, Melanie, Terry and I had driven from central Kansas over the last two days. We arrived in Cody, WY for the start of the 2008 Tour de Wyoming ride around 4 pm today. After we set up camp, we visited the Cody branch of Sierra Trading Post. No damage.

Dinner was at a little bar and grill downtown. The weather here has been so mild; 75 degrees when we hit town. We sat at an outside table and enjoyed Teton Ale, Old Faithful Ale , sandwiches, salads, and a big hunk of peanut butter pie. We passed around the bowl like a hookah.

Looking forward to a cool night for sleeping...
