Day 24 – Fort Collins to Boulder
July 14, 2009
It was only 45 miles to Boulder and it was going to be a great ride. A few “Pi Alphas,” guys who have done the trip before, joined us for the ride and even brought us breakfast. My family cheered us on in Longmont and then again in Boulder at my fraternity house. It was so nice to see my Mom, Dad, and Grandma. A few friends stopped by to say hi as well and we had a chance to catch up. Lunch was provided by our project manager’s family and it was delicious. After a quick shower we dropped our luggage off at the Church where we were staying and hit the town to celebrate the 4th. Everyone scattered but I managed to catch up with a few old friends and introduce them to some team mates. When it got dark, we watched the fireworks and then headed down to Pearl Street for some over 21 fun. I got to show the guys some of my favorite places and they loved every moment of it. It was a perfect 4th of July.
