Almost felt like we were cheating today – the ride was fast and over even before Mother Nature could cook us!
We started out in a fog that just got heavier as we went along. Riders that passed were swallowed up and disappeared! Didn’t have to drink at all – just licked the condensation that formed on my arms as I rolled along.
The scenery and terrain were unspectacular – I think…with the fog it was hard to tell. The only thing we could do was ride. Traffic is getting heavier now that we are approaching more populated areas. Makes me long for those long, unbroken stretches through Montana and South Dakota where we would pedal for hours and see maybe one or two cars. Along with the increased traffic is a noticeable increase in drivers who are a bit irritated sharing the road with us. We’ll deal with it and just continue on.
Ruben and I had some fun making other riders work to try to catch us and ended up in camp at the fairgrounds just after noon. Eventually Doug, Tony and I grabbed a bite to eat and came back to camp and ate dinner – a great meal cooked by Daniel. Vern, who rode the ride last year, and his wife, Karen, welcomed us to their town and contributed fresh corn on the cob for dinner. What great people!
