Today I took the day off from riding.   Made plans to go White Water Rafting.  The bus came to pick us up and before we could load up it started leaking anti freeze so they had  to call in another bus. The other bus git there in about 30 minutes.  Loaded up and headed out. 4t minute ride to bottom of the Canyon. They had everything ready for us. Loaded up and headed out what a great day. The guides really new the river and made sure we got the most out of it. The water temp was 45°. The first rapid you go thru and that water hit's  you it take s your breath away. We went thru a number if stages of rapids rating from 3 to 8. What a blast would love to do it again ! Pulled over around noon for a box lunch. Good sandwich and soda a b d chip's. Finished lunch went another 1/2 hr stopped again so we could swim and float down river for a bit. Will have to down load my go pro to see how I did in the rapids. Next few days that I have some extra time I will post it.
Got back in the raft and about an hour later finished up. Walked up to Helicopter pad to head out of the Canyon. Thought I would be more afraid then what I was but felt comfortable in it.
Colorado River in the Grand Canyon is awesome! !!!
Glad I did this. Ready to call it a night.
Good night
God Bless

Good Evening All, Today we leave Shell Island Fish Camp. Trisha and I spent 4 nights here and we had a great time! We biked each day not far but keeping our legs conditioned. This morning had our coffee and I had a muffin with peanut butter on it. Trisha had oatmeal she made but put to much water in it. Liquid oatmeal so she threw it away. We loaded up and headed out for Tallahassee. Today was only a 20 mile ride. Weather was great slight wind in our face but nothing to hold us back. We get into town and going up a hill so I was down shifting and my derailleur broke and twisted all up. Unloaded my fear from the back rack so I could take chain off so I could push my bike the last mile and a half. Lucky for me the ace I'm staying is a bike shop. They will fix my bike while I come home. They will have 12 days to get parts in and fixed. Should be no problem. Jerry Reynolds came to pick Trisha up and Trisha took us to lunch at Red Robin.  Had a great burger there. Came back to bike s
