This reminds me of a Jeff Arnim photo.
9 months agoPaper maps are "old school?" Well then, I guess I'm guilty as charged. I prefer to have a paper map in the map holder on top of my handlebar bag and follow it all day, and/or have a cue sheet with mileages that I reference as I'm riding. I do use a GPS, but only when necessary and/or as a backup to my paper map/cue sheet. But in the interest of complete disclosure, I have used a preloaded RWGPS route on my phone RWGPS app so that it gave me verbal commands for turns once when I was leaving in the pre-dawn hours on a route that had a lot of complicated turns from county roads - I wouldn't have even been able to see a paper map while I was riding in the dark - so I guess I'm not totally old school. Oh well, you youngsters would be at a loss if you ran out of battery - paper maps don't have to be charged. :
9 months agoWe fight enough headwinds. It’s only fair every once in a while.
9 months agoI remember driving that route and crossing the divide twice, which I knew was impossible; once, or three times, but not twice, so I looked it up on the map. Very interesting.
9 months agoYou da man!
I did mention the descent down Goshen Rim -
but there is no way to tell conditions from year to year.
Sorry about the washboards.
Yes, there are some very long trains out here.

9 months agoThanks!
9 months agoYes, I'd never seen a movie theater in such a plain metal building.
9 months agoI'm not sure at what point I tried V-8 juice on tour. I'm sure it's the salt. The first year I took up the habit, I came home and bought a half gallon of V-8. It sat in the fridge forever! It just wasn't as tasty when I wasn't sweating gallons while bicycling hours every day. V-8 is definitely a touring thing. It's getting hard to find now. It's not a popular drink. I didn't find one tonight. But yesterday I had two, to make up the deficiency.
9 months agoI've never seen this "nut roll" you've mentioned. I used to eat Payday bars, which are available everywhere of course, but I got burned out on them.
Not a big fan of V-8 juice, but I should try it on a bike tour.
Well done on the gravel!
9 months agoSalted nut rolls and V-8 juice. Don't knock it until you've tried it!
9 months agoThey didn't spend much money on aesthetics. Hopefully the sound is good.

We waved in your general direction as you passed north of us! Never been to Lingle. We don't spend a ton of time outside Laramie. Can't wait to read the rest!
