MILESTONES

Ride Against Hunger. 6/7/10

Baker, NV. to Delta, Utah (Riding Day 11)

95 miles

Tonight we are in Delta, Utah, after a very long day of riding. At one point during the ride we saw a sign saying, "Next Services, 83 miles"! That says it all about today. Not only was it a very long ride, it was absolutely devoid of any services. Thank God for our support team. They met us at mile 60 for lunch and water refills so we could ride the rest of the way in to town.

But the day was not without its significance. We passed two milestones. First, we entered into the third state of our trip. The picture attached shows us next to the "Welcome to Utah" sign. Joe Ossmann is in the middle and Chuck Boehme is on the right. I'm the other guy.

The other milestone we passed today was from Pacific Time to Mountain Time. Now when we call home we have to factor in that we are an hour earlier than the rest of our friends and neighbors in California...and an hour closer to our midwest and east coast family. May not seem like much to you all, but to us, pedaling every mile of it, it seems like a pretty big deal. As of today we've travelled 761 miles. Tomorrow we turn north and will ride up to Eureka, Utah where we will stay in a bed and breakfast. We are looking forward to less miles (56), and a new experience tomorrow night.

Hope you are all well...thanks for checking in our ride. It means a lot to us that you are following our ride.
