It’s no wonder Wymoning is the least populated state. Today’s 100 mile ride was probably the most boring of the trip so far. Wyoming is pretty much just a large desert after you get past the mountains in the West. The roads were great though, so we were able to double pace line in the road’s shoulder and talk to each other to kill the time while riding.
We averaged about 20 miles per hour on the bike today, and overall it was a great ride for 100 miles. I welcome tomorrow’s day off though.
Our dinner at the Poor Boy’s Steak house was sponsored by the Kiwanis club. Although it was not a friendship visit, we talked a lot about the communities we had rode through with the members of the Kiwanis club that came to the meeting. We all have been shocked at how nice the schools we’ve stayed in and showered in are (Jay’s dad who was with us, and is the principle of Kirkwood High School was even impressed), and we found out why. Apparently Wymoing has a ton of natural gas and a good amount of oil, so that funds all of their schools.
Pretty much the entire team went to go see Wall-E tonight. It was pretty good, and I’m glad I saw it!
