cycling 1:40:00 [1]
Biking on bike paths, roads and some gravel. I went out to Clinton and past Bromelsick. I'm putting together a basemap for Eric S to use at Bromelsick.
Weather was cool (maybe mid/upper 60s) and a mix of mist/drizzle/light rain/no rain.

Note
A few notes from the trip to Laramie.
I was mostly satisfied with how I managed the altitude. 3 out of 4 days was good. Of course, that one bad day was really bad. I went too hard at the start, made a big mistake, had trouble breathing, went too hard again, and made another mistake.
I tried a few things in the weeks before we went to get my navigating/orienteering mind to work. That experiment was successful, except I should figure out a better way to prep for the altitude (I have a few ideas that I'll try before the next opportunity).
A couple of new travel items worked well (water bottle for flight replacing one I lost/broke; new noise cancelling ear buds; and small pillow). I still had a lot of trouble sleeping in Laramie. I usually do. I need to work on that.
Laramie is a lot of fun. We had a very nice AirBNB. We had a few good meals. The orienteering was mostly interesting. Weather was pleasant (cooler would have been ideal, but it was a very welcome change from home). Good company.
Gene got a nice award/recognition through OUSA (Golden Service Award or something like that). It was well deserved.
