Todays ride was the longest so far 135 miles, with a total climb of 4212 feet and average speed of 17.9. I felt very good today. People's abilities are ironing out, and I have found a group of 4 or 5 riders that are about my same speed. We rode together most of the day. the wind was blowing hard 25-35 mph; thankfully only 20 miles of it a headwind but mostly side winds. I'm used to the winds though with my arizona training. Lunch consisted of hot dogs, pound cake and gatorade.Its amazing the drink combos i am concocting to stay hydrated, but its important to keep drinking even if not thirsty. The scenery in montana is spectacular (big ski country) . Tomorrow is another long day of 135 miles. This is definitely the most spectacular way to see the country! Having the time of my life!
