Up at first light. On the trail by 6:30 AM. I found myself delighted by how much easier and more pleasant it is riding in the early cool.

Fortunately the cooler weather persisted all day with consistent cloud cover. Generally firm surfaces and negligible climbing made for a day of quick, pleasant travel to Rawlins to grab my next resupply box.

I’m grateful to traveling by bike, having crossed the Great Basin in approximately 24 hours, as opposed to 4 – 5 days typical for host hikers.
