Day 23
June 24th, 2007

When we got on the road this morning it was a chilly 40 degrees so we all bundled up. Little did we know before the day was over the temperature would rise over 60 degrees! Today's ride ticked in at just over 98 miles, another pseudo century! From what we have seen Wyoming has the best roads, which make for some great fast riding. At the beginning of the day we had a great tail wind that once again pushed us at a great 35 mph. The Day was full of small rolling hills which were not too hard. At the 50 mile mark we had to get off the road and wait for a while because there was a dangerous high speed chase in the area. For the second half of the day the only real hard part was the heat which at one point was 103 degrees. While in Cheyenne we are staying at the Senior Citizen Center but unfortunately they do not have a shower so we had to drive to Thermopolis. In Thermopolis we got to relax in the mineral hot spring pool. It is apparently the largest mineral hot spring in the world. We had dinner back at the senior center in Cheyenne, they are some really great women who have supported the Trans Am team for many years. The rest of the evening we got an opportunity to relax and play games in the center.

Todd - This is Carla, I met you at Chris & Kate's wedding in Prosser a while ago and I know Amanda from WSU. I got to your blog from a link on her facebook and just wanted to say that I've enjoyed reading about your travels with Journey of Hope. It looks like an amazing experience. Keep up the hard work!
