Not only the longest day (76.8 miles) but the wind in our faces made it worse. Nothing like going downhill, on a tandem, loaded with 50 lbs of gear and still only doing 12 mph. Needless to say we were in the saddle a long time. Our butts hurt. Many discussions about stopping, getting a hotel, or taking a shortcut. In the end we prevailed. The store our book promised us turned out to be a gas station with a Subway. Mmm those sandwiches tasted good. Being so cold and windy on the ride in, we thought we were in for a cold damp night. Actually is was a great campsite. We built a fire and enjoyed our dinner. This morning all is dry.
Today is only 50 miles, flat and the wind to our backs. We hope.
