Day 14. May 8. Valentine to Ainsworth

0427181103a

Since I haven’t taken any pictures lately, tho’t I’d send another one from back at Shoshoni. That seems so long ago.

Had a great ride today. Light tail wind from the NNW so it was cool and damp but I made great time. Yesterday, I barely managed 8 mph. Today I was over 12.

But when I got to town, the campground situation was not so good again. Apparently. I am too early. The locals said they had 13 inches of snow 3 weeks ago and water has not been turned on yet. Glad the motel was reasonable.

I woke up somewhat tired this morning but didn’t want to waste a tail wind and a nice, sunny day tomorrow, so I rode. But, I must have been more tired than I tho’t. Took a two hour nap and woke up in time for dinner.

Tomorrow is a long day and then I do plan to take a rest day. The next day is forecasted to be somewhat rainy. Great day to take a test day.

49 miles today. 541.7 total.
