Day 24 (6/22/07) DuBois, WY to Lander, WY 77 miles

We attempted to start early because yesterday afternoon got so hot, today was similar weather and by about 10:30 the heat was oppressive. The first 45 miles just blew by, it was a slight downhill (some rolling in there) and a tail wind we had an average speed of about 19 mph without trying. Then we had took a turn and had a two mile climb, and we turned into the wind! It was much harder to pedal and the heat was starting to get to us. It was 92 degrees when we arrived in Lander around 1:15pm. We called it quits for the day but we did the mileage we planned on. The landscape reminded me of the southwest, very arid looking, especially as we entered Wind River Indian Reservation.
