Rode 125 miles through central and south central Wyoming today. Much of the route was through the Sweetwater Valley near the Oregon Trail. Transitioned from the mountains of Northwest Wyoming to the arid high plains filled with sagebrush, hills and the remnants of mountains. The landscape has its own beauty....note picture above with the "snow fence" with the large pronghorn antelope in the picture. Windy all day long...headwinds, sidewinds and tailwinds....15 to 25+ mph. Currently in Rawlins Wyoming, heading Southeast tomorrow into Colorado. No flats today...but my cell phone quite working...going to the Verizon store tomorrow morning.

Hey Mel. Awesome ride and great cause. I learned about your ride, blog and website from Dennis Luce during a project status call today. Love what you do and why you do it! I dropped a $50.00 donation. Stay healthy and ride on! Greetings from Downingtown, PA. Winni

Why I'm Riding

I’m excited about riding and hope to raise funds for the Sandpoint Rotary Club’s Youth Service programs.  These programs make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of students as they prepare for the future.
