A lovely day on the bicycles today. Mostly good pavement, one big climb that we spun up pretty well, and some nice tailwinds.
We have above normal temperatures, but we're high enough that it's not too hot. The above normal temperatures mean that there are no thunderstorms and that it's not breezy, but what breeze does kick up is a tailwind. So once we made the big climb today we rolled along at 18 to 20 mph with the breeze at our backs. Very little traffic, too.
We're staying in Jeffrey City, a town of about 25 people which had 5000 when I was born. Then the uranium mine closed, and everyone left. It's beautiful here, with 9000' mountains in the distance and rocky formations nearby, but this is the only town for 120 miles.
