Tour of the Gila is officially over and  tomorrow morning the team is off to Joe Martin via a long ass van ride across Texas which should be entertaining!

Anyway here is a quick run down of Gila…

DSC03069.JPG Last but not least after today’s stage we did a little volunteer work by helping a special kid make banana bread….wait that is my teammate Teddy….so yeah, we still helped a special kid make banana bread!  I hope he lets me eat some of it.

Next up is Joe Martin which starts on Friday in Fayetteville, Arkansas….I am a bit nervous to see if my legs show up.
