Flashback ?

Today was a repeat of last years' ride, and the year before, andthe year before that. Why change something that just plain works?

Since we got in late we decided to stay in bed a little later, especially as we had decent hotel beds. Dad and I were still up 8 though.... so we did some parking lot maneuvers, made coffee, lubed chains, coordinated with Ron, planned the day and left a message for Chuck. By 11 we were on the road.

We left Gillette, then rode to Sheridan via Spotted Horse and had lunch. We ate lunch and got gas in Dayton and checked tire pressures and proceeded to enter the Bighorns behind some really slow poeple. It was raining anyway so we took it easy on those awesome roads. We didn't even hit construction.

As we climbed from 3000 to 9000 feet the temps dropped from upper 80's to upper 50's. A quick coffee break at an alpine lake refreshed us and we continued on across the Bighorns.

The trip remained uneventful... we checked into the Cody KOA, found dinner and went to sleep. The End for Wednesday.
