It seems like this day has lasted forever. So much fun has been packed into one day I can't believe it. It was 37 degrees leaving out of Gunnison this morning. It was cold. I don't even think it gets that cold in Texas. It was so cold I forgot to get gas. Then when I remember to look it was not good. I prayed over the gas tank and finally got to a little town in the mountains with one gas pump before it was too late. That's when I discovered I could put my sweatshirt hood on my head AND get my helmet on over it. Barely.
The views were magnificent again and thank goodness there was hardly any wind. Arriving in Leadville, elevation around 9,000 feet, the temperature was still very cold. I was frozen and needed a hot meal and hot tea. Thank goodness I got both.
I finally arrived in Keystone, buzzing with women riders around 3. Then began the comedy of errors. How to hold the directions to the condo on the bike. OK, memorize it. Underground parking sounds heavenly, doesn't it? Well, turns out, you need a key card to get into the garage. I get the key card out, slide it in, garage door opens, put the key card in the tank bag, put the bike in gear, start to go, garage door closes. Back up...begin procedure over again. Be quicker this time. Slide key card in, start to put key card in teeth, instead smash key card into face shield. Garage door closes. Look skyward for answers while crowd gathers. Sigh loudly. Fog face shield. Begin to rethink underground parking. Finally get in without getting my head taken off my the garage door and get into the most beautiful room in the place overlooking a little miniature golf course and of course, the mountains.
On to the conference!!!

Song for this post....Are you Tough Enough....I don't even know if that's a song but I keep hearing it in my head and I'm too tired to look it up.
