Woke up early this morning in my makeshift camping area, determined to cover as many of the 150 miles to Rawlins as possible. The post office closes at noon on Saturday and I didn't want to leave myself with too many miles on Saturday morning. Plus the first hour or two of the day are the most painful. So hammering right out of the gate can be pretty miserable.
So after a full day of pedaling the stats are as follows: 140 miles ridden. 110 offroad. 30 paved. A new personal best for daily mileage on any type of bike or surface. So feeling pretty stoked. The Ride was across a Wyoming plain devoid of any trees. Pretty much just scrub brush and antelope. But still a terrific day of riding.
Ended up finding a camping spot 8 miles north of Rawlings in the dark. So just an easy cruise into town for tomorrow.
Oh yea, there were also these canisters every so many miles where hunters were to deposit one wing of the birds they shot. I guess so the game control can track the hunting volume. New to me.
