Saturday, July 7, 2007, Casper, WY to Lusk, WY, 107 miles, 9 hrs, 15 min., 7 hrs, 53, min. on the bike, Ave. speed: 13.5 mph, Climb: 2860 ft.

Another century+ day. I did fairly well, rode pretty strong and had my favorite - a tailwind.

Had a travel companion for the first 30 miles of the ride today - a self supported cyclist who was biking from OR to Iowa on a recumbent bike. His name was Dave Miller and he was quite chatty. He's an experienced cyclist and has done several bike trips. Since I normally ride alone, it was nice to ride with him - it made the miles go by more quickly.

After that, I pretty much rode alone the rest of the day. Saw some pronghorn antelope and more vast empty rangeland and big sky.

I'm tired (gee, I wonder why?...) and now I'm off to clean my bike.
