Rest Day in Lander, Wyoming
Mon 21st June 2010
Well there is very little to report about today. We are at about 5,500 ft altitude so it was warmer last night than in previous nights and it was also nice not to have the alarm going off at 5:00am.
Main Street, Lander
This morning we just rested and uploaded more daily routes to the GPS for the next weeks riding. I also added some links to the blog of some other cyclists we’ve met and tidied up all our stuff. After 3 weeks those panniers get a little messy.
Opposite the campsite is a Truck Stop Cafe where the food is good and reasonably priced, so we ate our lunch there and of course we had to try the blueberry pie. We then walked down into Lander which is a very nice town and one of he biggest places we’ve been through for quite a while.
I'm glad these aren't real
It’s just 4:00pm as I write this so we have the rest of the day just to relax before an early start tomorrow. It’s very hot here with the temperatures touching 30 degrees C so cycling will be hard work until we gain more altitude. Tomorrow we are going to go further than planned and head for Lamont where we understand we can camp behind Grandma’s Cafe. I’m not expecting any wi-fi tomorrow so don’t be surprised if there’s no blog.
Can you spot the British tourist
Once again we enjoy reading all the comments so thanks for taking the time to write them.
