Today's stats: Lauren and the Rockies crew rode from Oklahoma City to Watonga, OK. ~ 70.0 miles.
Just spoke with her, and she sounds great! ; ) They are staying at Watonga Christian Church; I had to laugh when she told me they are spending the night "in the basement"! Being the Texas diva she is, and being like her Momma, the mere mention of dark showers and/or musty basements, will send us running in the other direction! LOL Not to mention that we here in these neck of the woods just aren't used to basements! A big difference from where they were staying in Oklahoma City night before last and yesterday; Oklahoma Christian University in "really, really nice apartments with our own kitchens......" as she said! Oh, to see her face when she get to use the "facilities" at those national parks! LOL
Anyway, they had a hamburger dinner courtesy of the church's congregation, and being a preachers daughter, I can tell you first hand, those are probably some of the best meals she'll get on her trip; those church people can cook, and the warmth and hospitality they usually show goes above and beyond!
I don't have the picture yet, but said she found herself having a photo-op in one of the cornfields during one of their rest stops; pose is of her standing in the cornfield holding her bike above her; sounds pretty cool, and will post as soon as I can.
Good to hear your voice Lauren; we miss you and we love you! Ride hard, ride fast, and remember those for who you ride! We'll see you in Alaska!
Love ~ Mom
