Bring on the Layers
Yesterday as we headed out of Panaca, Nevada we said goodbye to the hot temps we’ve been riding in the past few weeks. I think many of us underestimated the cooler weather in Utah. By the first rest stop we were doing whatever we could to stay warm. This is what 13 riders look like in 40 degree weather with strong winds at 6,719 feet in one car! We got nice and cozy!
After the break we bundled up to ride 26 more miles to lunch. The support team graciously offered what warm clothes they could spare for those of us riding.
We have the day off today in Cedar City, Utah. We are giving three lectures throughout the day, running errands, taking trips to the bike shop, and preparing to conquer the surrounding mountains. I know many of us decided to invest in some additional gear to keep us warm as we will be spending more time in the mountains these next few weeks. There’s only one way out of here- up we go!
