Long day today, 91 miles with roughly the first half of the ride into another stiff headwind. The terrain and scenery were a little more interesting. Psychologically it's easier to climb a hill and go 5 MPH, then to be on a flat road and do 10 MPH into a headwind. The last 25 miles had some nice downhill runs, and I got to camp about 6:00. Just over 8 hours of wheels rolling.
I forget the name of the campground we stayed at, because, well, it was forgettable. What won't soon be forgotten is the mosquito swarm that greeted us. I've started to just drink DEET at this point in the hopes it will ooze from my pores. More efficient that way. Also, this was our 'no shower' night. 91 miles, no shower, time for a new tent after this trip.
The retail and the unwashed continue to play well together
