2015, Day 8: Tailwinds

Tailwind, flatland. This is the way riding should be. By the time we got everything packed in the car, left Cardston, crossed back into the U.S. and drove to Browning, it was 9:20 when I started riding. But I had a tail wind of 10-15 MPH most of teh way--sometimes it became more of a sidewind--but it was never in my face. There were only a couple of steep hills which weren't very long. Most of the hills had gentle grades. With the help of a tail wind I took many of them in highest gear. Stopped for lunch at a park in Cut Bank around noon after 35 miles, and finished the ride at 2:25. 59 miles in 5 hours, including lunch. It's so nice not to hurt anywhere. The 2 days off really helped.​​
