Riverton to Worland
July 6, 2022
Last night the caterer never showed up so we all headed
downtown to find our own supper. Ken T
had spotted a place called the Rust Truck which was part bar and part pizzeria. It was excellent. Being the caterer was a no show we knew
breakfast would not be much and it wasn’t.
Ken T and I rolled out at 6:50 this morning. Ken was really strong and we made great time.
It was a 92 mile route today mostly downhill.
I think over the course of the day we lost 1300 feet.
The highlight of the day was the ride through the
canyon. There is no indication of how
you are going to cross this large range of very rugged hills, then you turn a
corner and there is a canyon with a couple of tunnels. It is a 12 mile downhill
through an amazing canyon. A really wild ride.
Unfortunately it is over all too soon. However there you are at picnic
which is a chance to fill up on all kinds of wonderful treats.
Ken and I were rolling out of picnic at 11:00 and with just
41 miles to go. By now it is getting
really oppressively hot and we could see thunder heads building on the horizon
so we were motivated to ride hard. We
got luck and found a short cut shaving 3 miles off the route and rolled into a
cantina at 1:00 PM. Not bad for a 89
mile day. The beer and nachos were
terrific.
In camp I got my tent set and showered just in time before a
wind storm hit. I dived into my tent and
had a little nap.
What a great day.

Does sound like a great day. .. where is the selfie with the beer? I expected to see that pic!! Ride safe.
Great sights, temps, food, and beer. Doesn’t get any better.
In PHX we are off the road by 9:00 to beat the oppressive heat.
