Earlier I mentioned that my grandson Mark was making a transcontinental cycle trip and it will take 3 months. Well last Friday they were going through Colorado going to Denver. My daughter, Sue, is a rural mail carrier, and she was on the road delivering the mail when she met some cyclists who were in his group. She was able to talk to one of the women riders and found out that Mark was in the next group behind. So they planned a trick. Sue parked her car, and the cyclist placed her bicycle on the shoulder near the car. Then she laid on the grass to make it look like an accident.Mark came by, saw the mess, jumped of his bike, ran over to see what happened. They jumped up to meet him, and they all started to laugh for the next ten minutes. Then Mark took a ride with Sue to finish her route. Then they went out for dinner, and finally Sue drove Mark to a church in Denver where he rejoined his group.
Mark had a little rest and did not have to pedal the last 35 miles to Denver which is mostly uphill. I'm sure that Mark enjoyed the respite after that scare on the road. I'll keep you posted as I get the news.
