Tuesday. Short(45 miles) easy ride today. Mostly flat with gentle bumps. Wide open spaces with cattle grazing. Nice temps, around 50 when we started at 7:00am rising to mid 70’s. Rawlins, Wyoming was our destination and we get there before noon. The unique event of the day was a 14 mile ride on interstate 80. Back east this would never be permitted, but out west several states allow bicycles on the interstate highways. I had some anxiety with this, but it worked out fine. The shoulder was wide and smooth and the traffic was far enough away that we didn’t get the buffeting that I expected. There were areas of heavy road hazard that require alert riding. All in all even with big trucks whizzing by at 80 miles and hour the day proved to be uneventful. Getting to camp so early makes this like a half a layover day. We’re at a very nice camp ground with good showers and a laundry. By the way we have officially reached 2500 miles.
