Entering Utah & Leaving Nevada
We’ve now left the desert and have headed into the cold. The two days of riding after Vegas were pretty easy. There were climbs, but we had a tail wind which makes things so much easier. The last ten miles into Panaca were rough though because of strong cross winds.
The terrain has been changing. We saw our first trees in a while two days ago. We’re now in Cedar City at the base of some mountains. Yesterday I was on support, so avoided the sudden drop in temperature. The riders were freezing. We tried to get them as many clothes as possible, but most people had their gear packed in the trailer.
Yesterday morning Van and I gave a presentation on Poverty and Health at Lincoln County High School. The whole school came – about 180 students. It was a pretty good group, and I think most of them were interested. We tried to make it as interactive as possible to try and keep people’s attention. I was a little stressed prepping it, but I’m glad to have finally given the presentation so that I don’t have to worry about giving it for the first time any more.
Linc arrived yesterday – he flew into Cedar City and then rode his bike out to meet us on the route.
