Day 11

Today I would be riding into a nasty storm, just did not know how bad it would be. Just 18 or so miles to Alpine WY. There was going to be a lot of climbing today so my goal was about 50 miles. After mile12, the snow started so I knew there was no way I was getting 50 miles. It was a good thing I brought my winter gear, I had 4 layers on felt ok, but could not see very good because of all the snow. I got a cheap hotel in Alpine, thanks Elizabeth. I met her a couple miles outside of Alpine. She felt bad that she could not put all my gear in her car to give me a ride. I thanked her anyway it was just a few miles to Alpine, she insisted on giving me some $. I declined a couple times, she took no for answer and handed me a hundred bucks. Wow I couldn't believe it. Got some cool snow pics.
Wyoming welcomed me with some nice snow, yippee.
Miles 20, total miles 391, avg 9.8, max 35.9, time 2.01

  1. Who would have thought you'd see snow. Glad you got to stay at a hotel.
