Relief from the Heat

Well, the temperature is down about twenty degrees today, although I have about 75 miles to ride through heavy wind and occasional rain. There's only one place to stop between here and there and first thing tomorrow morning I start to do the real climbing up into the Rockies.

I've ridden 225 miles in the last three days and have about 200 more to go until I hit Missoula for a two day rest. The heat has turned my brains to mush, and the cows and antelopes are looking at me in a funny way, but as long as I keep pedaling I don't think they'll say anything bad about me. At least within my range of hearing.

I'm off to battle headwinds.
