Sarah and I were in the same hotel last night and met at early breakfast hoping for a 7 am start. Sarah had patched a tube that ha gone flat and brought her bicycle to a auto shop and had the tire filled yesterday. This morning it was flat again. Well, 1 1/2 hours later we were on the road.
We soon lost track of each other as I go slightly faster. What a pleasant day for a ride. Overcast with a tail wind. It was cool at high 30's , low 40's, but doable. Along the way I saw a sharp tail grouse (pretty sure), a prairie warbler (pretty sure) and an antelope, among other things.

Traffic was fairly light for almost the entire ride. Just another bonus. The bad news came in the last 8 miles when the wind turned against me and a cold rain started.
Then after arriving in Dutton, warm shower hostess found me sitting on a bench in town just as I was trying to locate them. Best part of the day was meeting Luke, Meagan, Àshlynn and Andrew. What a wonderful, generous and fun family. I am so fortunate to have met them. Love, music, Christianity, and good energy are themes in this home. Does it get any better?
More pictures to come after I sleep.
Today's ride: 78 miles (126 km)
Total: 1,028 miles (1,654 km)
