Great progress, photos and reports Mike. Those rollers look like Skaalen Road on steroids set to repeat infinitely. Good move on the early morning starts, we talk about your adventure frequently on our 5am rides. You have me beat by about four hundred and you passed Jeff on Sunday. Keep on pedaling and sharing!

Definitely stay hydrated. Are you able to carry enough water?

Ahhh.. The western wilderness… Every now and again I get a wild hair to drive a different route to San Francisco to see the kids, and you’re totally right about the hills. And you were totally smart to skip Yellowstone. The route to get there is BRUTAL. Going forward it’ll be Pete Herman’s North Dakota hills for a bit, and then flat and flat and more flat. You should make good time! Keep hydrated, and keep on peddaling, Buddy!

Hi Mike,
If you see a cow along side the road, just grab on to the tail and let it pull you for a ways. Just be sure it’s a cow and not a bull.

Center? Do you mean Circle? I can’t find a “Center” on the map (aside from the geographic one!). Sounds like some hot/tough/dry conditions to be pumping up and down big rolling hills. I well-remember the long long spaces between towns out there – they seem long in a CAR at 75 mph, so I can only imagine on a bicycle! Have you gone “swimming” in a cow water tank yet? I’m sure the thought has crossed your mind. . .

Ah, the joy of riding for a living. I’m glad to see you made it for the day. We remember the hard times much more fondly than the good times. Keep up the good decisions and Karma.
At least you have no fires to contend with.
Keep rolling.
