Note: Photos for stage 14 will be added shortly.

Today we were traveled from Woodward to Norman, Oklahoma (south of Oklahoma City). Other than arriving at a particular destination, we are usually on our own as far as structuring our day. However, today, we were scheduld to ride with a group of bike riders from Journey Church in Norman, meeting up a specific times & locations during the day. Because we got a late start from Woodward, we had to ride in the van a ways this morning to make sure we could keep to our on-the-road schedule. We were roughly able to keep on schedule, but it was a bit disappointing cutting some of the miles off.

However, we can’t complain—we had a great time riding with about ten men from Journey Church. We picked them up at a few different points on the route, and we soon formed a good sized peloton. Other than Mt. Evans, we’ve riden alone for the tour, so it was a a lot of fun riding and talking with them.

Other highlights of the day:

* No flat tires!
* A couple more sprints between Rich and Jared. (1-1 in the official sprints.)

We have a rest day tomorrow! Our third of four. I speak in the morning at Journey Church at 6am. We then have an in-studio interview on KTLR radio at 12pm and an interview with a reporter from The Oklahoman newspaper in the afternoon.
