Wyoming is windy!!

June 30, 2024

Church gymnasium. Walls are covered with 40 years of notes by cyclists.

There are 5 separate "bedrooms" with air mattresses. There have been as many as 25 people there using the gym also.

This is Ott. The resident dog at the only cafe in town, the Split Rock Cafe where I had dinner and breakfast.

Very windy day, mostly crosswind some headwinds. Probably blowing 20-25 with gusts. 60 mile ride and Wyoming is a very sparsely populated state with sometimes 20-30 miles of no houses, ranches etc. Between Lander where I was last night and Rawlins where I'll be tomorrow night it's about 130 miles and there is basically one place to stay. The tiny town of Jeffrey City (population 58) has a church that has been open to cyclists for over 40 years. It is used by hundreds of cyclists every summer traveling the famous Trans American trail. See pics.

Today's ride: 60 miles (97 km)
Total: 1,404 miles (2,260 km)
