I don’t know where I’m going. There’s a lot of sparsely populated space to cover before I get back to the trees, and I’ve come this way because there’s been reliable water at reasonable distances. I think I’d do better with a paper map to ponder.
It was chilly this morning and had to break out my down sweater for a while. There was a little bit more climbing to start the day and except for two moderately steep sections to keep me honest, the rest of the day was a glorious downhill glide with dramatic changes in biomes as I dropped. I had planned to camp at the lake just south of St. Johns, and it looked nice. But it was so warm that camping didn’t really appeal and then there was this tail wind, so I kept on going and grabbed a room in town.
Today's ride: 70 miles (113 km)
Total: 707 miles (1,138 km)
