Thank you to Shuttleguy for your awesome services during Bicycle Tour of Colorado! It was so nice to not have to hassle with taking down my tent each morning. It gave me time to have an extra cup of your fresh coffee before starting my ride. The best part was reaching my destination each day with my tent set up with my bags in it and being able to hang out under your shaded canopy drinking a cold beverage, especially on those 90+ degree days! Not to mention fresh shower towels each day, water, Gatorade, snacks, tire pumps, chairs, outlets for charging cell phones/GPS, and friendly faces. Thank you Tym and your wonderful staff for everything!
