Tuesday July 3rd started like all other days with a climb up a hill away from the town where we spent the night. This climb was not that steep although it was about 20 miles long. There were many large cattle ranches and the scenery was nice. Once to the top of the hill we had a nice long down hill to enjoy. So far a pretty good day. THEN we rounded a corner and road straight into a 15 mph head wind that stayed with us for 35 miles all the way to  the Wyoming State line. Also the temperature has changed from the 60's and 70's to 102 today. Once into Wyoming the wind lightened and we  finished our 86 mile day in Sheridan, Wy. Another KOA campground and a nice swimming pool. We had to go 3 miles into town to eat dinner and we all voted that our bikes needed a rest so we took a taxi into town. Saving our energy for tomorrows 112 mile ride on the 4th of July.
