It's Sunday, 9:12 AM, as I sit comfortably in the Pittsburg, KS, Starbucks writing this blog. I need some down time after yesterday's grueling ride, though this will be a short post as I s/ seriously be on the road pedaling. I couldn't resist uploading another gross up close of my skin, this time covered in bumps brought on by heat & my struggle to get to Tailwind's Bike Shop before they closed @ 4:00...reopening Tues AM. Well, I made it to KS, and the bike shop. John & Roger did a *great* job fixing my ride. It shifts better then ever, thanks I think to Roger tweaking my derailleur hanger so it was perfectly parallel w/ my rim. I recovered quickly from my overheating issue, and I met two cool riders from Oxford, England, Ed & Bethen. They were kind enough to hang at the El Charo Mexican restaurant and have a drink w/ me. We had a fun time trading ride notes before heading back to the motel and crashing.

Are you almost there? To Colorado Springs, that is. How much longer? Miles, days...It will be good to see you again here in beautiful Hoboken. Really good place - Ultramarino - on third just next door to Zafra. My treat when you return.
Love, MOM
I'm about 500 miles away from Pueblo. I'll be home early next week. The food is killing me, literally. Seemingly everything is fried or sugared up, or mystery meat. Overdramatizing the issue is impossible; the "food" I'm able to find is absolutely disgusting / low dosage poison. The only vegetarian food available at restaurants is (bad) pizza. Does Ultramarino have foods that are not fried, not made of sugar/corn sweetener, and not meat? If so, I'll be in heaven.
Ultramarino is a spin-off of Zafra and Cucharamama. They have take-out, sandwiches, rice and beans, and QUIONA!
I'm planning to do a Whole Foods run this weekend and between JD and me, we will cook up a storm for your return.
Keep me posted, we can pick you up at the airport.
Love, MOM
