Wednesday. Rawlins to Jeffrey city 68 miles. Started with a gradual long climb to just over 7000 feet crossing the continental divide for the third time. Then a long flat ride through the great divide basin. It reminded me of Kansas with different scenery. Another gentle climb and back over the continental divide. I had mentioned earlier that we would cross the divide five time, but now realize we’ll cross it at least seven times. The last 14 miles were the hardest miles I’ve ever ridden. We were directly into head winds that were close to 20 m.p.h with gusts much higher. In low gear I was pedaling for all I was worth and couldn’t go faster than 6 m.p.h.
