The word of the day is: WINDY!
Today we cycled from the town of Austin to Eureka covering 70 miles of terrain in some of the worst wind of the trip. For a 20 mile stretch the wind was howling at ~25 mph in our face, making the ride incredibly difficult! None the less, our whole team made it every mile with the exception of one of the cyclists, Jim, who has stitches in his knee. The terrain has remained fairly constant with large mountain passes followed by long open valleys.
We did not have any friendship visits today, but we had a fantastic lunch hosted by DJ’s Diner and another great pasta dinner hosted by the Lions Club of Eureka. It’s going to be an early night tonight because I am exhausted!
Tomorrow we have an 80 mile ride spanning 4 large mountain passes. See you then!
