I never would have thought that the plains would be this discouraging. I guess we always assumed that it would be cold weather or mountains, but riding into the wind is the worst possible scenario, and it looks like it could be like this for a couple weeks straight. Not to mention, it just going…

Wind n’ shit
Now that we've officially entered the plains, the wind is a real son of a bitch. When we woke up from under our rock yesterday morning, we were greeted with what seemed like a little wind. Well, the first few miles were devastating. It took us 30 mins to go 3 miles. With 56 miles…
The Marriot of cow tunnels

These two suckers rode 100 miles yesterday. Coincidentally, it was one of the most frustrating days of my life. But we made it, and the high fives came out.
