Day 20 the awesome city of steam boat. Today was a 6am wakeup and we enjoyed a lovely crew chief breakfast and we got to meet the one and only Bruce Rodgers. He is the father of the Journey of Hope. 27 years ago he cycled across the United States in 40 days to help raise awareness of Push America. Now he also is one of the three creators of KRG capital which is an equity firm that is the capital sponsor of our trip. Without this man and his family, none of this would be possible.
Today's ride was short, so short we were confused as to what to do with our free time as we finished in about 2 hours and a half. Many of us went to get food at a local restaurant. We had an absolute blast and I had a really spicy burger. We went out with Layton who happens to be Bruce's son.
After I showered I went around the town and finally got a haircut. For dinner we had another visit with a different horizons group. We first met Debbie and Bruce and they both had amazing characters. Bruce was playing jams for us to dance to and Debbie loved to hear our stories.
Afterwards Bruce Rodgers bought us all candy and ice cream which was awesome. A couple of the guys went to a shop called F.M & Sons which had advertisements on the highway 100 miles back. After the fun we headed to bed for another ride.
