Picking up the Pace

We broke our longest day record! Up to now, we’d had a few days in the 67-69 mile range, and today we got ambitious and did almost 74. The reason is that we’ve scheduled a rest day in Rawlins, WY and we wanted today to be long and tomorrow to be shorter.
And it’s working out great. Despite a respectable hill, random headwinds, and a mosquito-infested afternoon, we made good time and arrived in Muddy Gap, WY by 7:30pm. Yes, the junction really is called that, and no, it’s not really big enough to be called a town.
