Rode past several mt ranges at 10mph. And we were supposed to make west yellowstone but the headwinds kicked up brutally, over 25mph with higher gusts. Rich pulled, I drafted. And the road went straight and hot for miles, making mirages way ahead. we only made it a little more than halfway to West. ( It reminded me of what a solo motorcyclist from Canada told me when i met her in Sula. She said somes friends rode bicycles across canada, thought after the Rockies would be easier. They hit headwinds where they could look back at the end of the day and see where they started in the morning. A few days of that and they said, goals are goals but lets take a train for a while.)
When we came to a downhill, where we should have gone 25+, Rich went into a full tuck and we were going 8. It was kinda funny really, if he wasn't working so hard.
Halfway was West Fork campground, where the valley narrowed and it changed to fly fishing area. We met Matt from Davis Calif. Rich asked him if he knew a good friend of his, and he did! (thanks for the beer Matt!) small world.....

Yes, this world is smaller than we would ever believe until we take the plunge and really get out there.
