Tough day today!
120 miles through the middle of nowhere from Riverton,
WY to Casper, WY. The profile of the trip showed 65-70
miles of gentle ascent then about 50 miles of gentle
descent into Casper. The problem was that we hit
headwinds and it became a grind to make the distance.
I wasn’t feeling that great when the day started,
worked through it and then had two flats late in the
trip. Marie was doing well until the 100 mile mark and
then kind of hit a wall. We both made it but felt the
wear and tear.
Thankfully, tomorrow is a day off. We’ll rest,
recuperate, do some tire changes and get our legs back
to do 106 miles the following day into Lusk, WY.
It’s a good group of people. Everybody looks out for
one another. We’re not discouraged by the tough day
but we don’t need any more like it.
Now, help us with those tailwinds.
