DAY 57 - Leaving the comfort of Pie Town

This morning we all decided a cooked breakfast would be just the ticket - so we all made our way down to the cafe at the bottom of the hill this time, for breakfast as it opened at 8am.
After breakkie we said good bye to Pie Town which felt sad as we all have come to love it here - the town had a incredible welcoming feeling - like you did not want to leave - just stay & eat pie all day long…
We had a short days riding today 48km so we took our time had a leisurely lunch & arrived at the campsite about 3pm.
Just chilled out & relaxed for the rest of the afternoon listening to Scott & Chris talk complete BS!
Just after dinner about 7pm we saw 2 cycle tourist with bob trailers come down the road - so we called them over - gave them a welcoming beer (Sue had carried the beers for us today in the car) & let them go set up camp.
It turns out that we had 2 ‘MTV’ X-Games superstars in our midst, Travis & Ryan from a show called ‘Nitro Circus’ which is a motorbike stunt show http://nitrocircus.com/ . Travis also races monster trucks & is currently placed 1st on the Amercian Rally circuit as he drives rally cars for Subaru.
These boys started the trip on the 1st Sept & have made it this far already! They are riding huge days (not completely following the actual GDMBR) but we were all extremely impressed. Travis even took 4 days out in Steamboat springs to drive the next stage of the rally!
To put into perspective how long there days are, they had ridden from Grants to tonight’s campsite in a day, (also stopping for pie) this has taken us ‘touring cyclist’ 3 days to complete!(194km if they followed the route as we did?)
Oh & did I mention these boys have been fully kitted out by Giant - bikes, clothing - the works
Anyway we got them to do a short video for us which we will post (C4 coffee - you will love the shout out they gave you…)
