Day 14
June 15th, 2007

Today was the first real relaxing day of the whole trip. We did not have anything on our schedule at all except a team meeting to review the following week. Today was our second day here in Missoula, Montana. I slept in all the way until 8:30 which was much needed. I was also able to get some laundry done. Later in the day some guys and I went to the local bike shop to get their bikes fitted properly to try and help reduce knee pains they have been having. For lunch we went to a pizza place and hand some really big slices of amazing pizza. We spent most the rest of the day just relaxing and helping our bodies recuperate. We asked some locals what the cool thing to do while we are in Missoula and a couple of them told us to hike the "W." So at sunset I climbed a path up the hill just past University of Montana. It was a lot higher up than it looked. Once up there I sat around on a giant concrete "M" and waited for the sun to set. It was a beautiful sight, I could see the entire town of Missoula. Missoula is a really great town, most of the people I have met are really nice. I have seen more cyclists in this town then anywhere else I have ever been, everyone seems to be an outdoor enthusiast. Plus from what I have seen so far the sky really is bigger in Montana.
