June 22, 2009 Monday, Mountain Lodge to Lander, WY


Picture: Red Rocks in cowboy and Indian country.

Enroute we took pictures of two bikers, Joe Mantel, and Heather Vosburgh who had gone from Richmond, VA to Key West, FL, to Tempe AZ, and then to the Grand Canyon, using the Adventure cycling Great parks of the West, the Grand Canyon Connector, and the Western Express routes.

The ride today was gloriously downhill with little wind! Today, we met Greg from the UnforgettableJourney.org who had had a bulging flat tire at about mile 70 today. We had a good night at the city park, but Kendall and Rachael, the other members of the Alz crew had gotten a late start this morning, so they stopped at Ft. Watachaie, left their bikes in a grocery store storage room, and then got a ride to the Lander city campground from some touring friends who just happened to be in the area.

We camped in Lander at the city park, at the invitation of a City Council Member. We biked to the swimming pool, in a school nearby, where we paid $2.00 for a shower.

Total miles today: 100.08.
