Other than a frigid start (there was a hard frost last night with a sunrise temperature of 26), the ride was fairly uneventful. I set out at ten to avoid the coldest weather and, by noon, it had warmed to around 70 with consistent tailwinds, always a friend. The riding terrain was flat with open range, hills, and rocky mountains as the backdrop.
From Day 2 of the trip, our group has been playing cat-and-mouse with Scott who is doing this ride while he awaits his Peace Corps assignment. He subsequently met two fellows from Alaska, Allen and Carl, who he has biked with for the past three weeks.
The dearth of photo opportunities today makes for short work on the blog—no long delays for uploading. There’s an upside to everything.

I am having fun following you ladies across the country and am thinking of it in 2010 if it isn't already full! Thanks for all the great stories and pictures!
