On Tuesday July 2, we finally rode our last mile in Montana and our first in Wyoming. The day started in Hardin Montana and ended in Sheridan Wyoming covering 84.2 miles. It was our first day of real head winds, so we rode in a 9 person pace line to give each other a break. After 16 miles of riding we got to the Little Big Horn battlefield but arrived too early to enter the park. The picture below is the view from just outside the park and the view Custer must have seen only with thousands of attacking Indians.
The temperature today reached 93 degrees and it was a challenge keeping cool and hydrated. By the time we reached the KOA in Sheridan everyone was pretty well spent. Tomorrow we have 112 miles to cover and the temp is forecasted to be 97. It will be one to the toughest days on the ride and will be the longest.
