We began the ride in a cold rain & covered about 38 miles of the 73 scheduled before we stopped for safety sake. It rained the entire day & there was snow falling & accumulating up ahead. Of course, now it's clear & the sun is sneaking through. Nobody complained about stopping early today, though.
Now we're in for the day. Ken is a high school teacher here & has been very helpful to us. We shipped some supplies to his house. He opened up the school so we could use the showers there. He's bringing us dinner.
We're staying at the local firehouse for the night. Ken is bringing us pasta, salads & some drinks for dinner. He's already outlined our whole ride for tomorrow. About 80 miles to Cedar City, Utah. A big climb at the start over 10 miles or so. Then some rolling hills and then a 50 mile flat stretch. One more "gradual" mountain to climb as we approach Cedar City. I'll let you know tomorrow how accurate he was. Here's a pic of the mountains from the window of the firehouse.
