Today was lazy as hell. I'm definitely losing track of remembering what a bicycle is or why I'd be going anywhere on one.
I basically goofed around all day until it was time to go to the next town over for a party. Every Sunday a girl has a party at her nice house in Manitou Springs. The Spinto Band came on from the iPod in the middle of a beer pong game, and Blake was like "yo, Chris!" The people I'm staying with know more about Philly bands than I do. But I've met people who they would love to me. Philadelphia is a novelty, and there are chants of "flip! flip! flipadlephia!" They watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, too.
I had a great time. Once I finally had enough beer, that is. Upon arrival at the party I was distinctly less relaxed.
I decided I have a choice: Either ride to the summit of Pike's Peak, or ride toward Denver. It's time to move on.

Lazy day in Colorado Springs
I had the day off in Colorado Springs. I did my usual day-off routine. I went to a coffee shop and turned it into my living room for a matter of hours. I ate a sandwich and laid down in the park.
I have less than $2000 left. It's time to slow down the money flowing out of my wallet. It takes discipline. I cooked up some spaghetti that I've been hauling around for over a week. For lack of any other available options, I sprayed PAM olive oil on the noodles and sprinkled on some salt. That worked fine.
Then I bought beer, and left a little bit later to get more beer.
The guys I'm staying with are young and laid back. They like music, and are familiar with an astonishing number of artists. We're listening to plenty of music and talking about it. I'm welcome to sit around and sleep here for another night. Seems likely to happen.
I have a few days to kill before Tara shows up in Denver. At that point I will try to sort out what the hell I'm doing. I'm putting that off for now. My stuff needs to be cleaned, and I need to remind myself that I'm trying to ride a bicycle somewhere. It's easy to lose sight of the reason I am in Colorado with a bicycle.
Colorado Springs seems like a good place to live in a van. I think Colorado is on the list of places where living in a van would be extra easy.
Nobody brought up that drinking contest again after last night. That definitely saved somebody from getting hurt.
