As you can see from the photo on the right, there is good coffee in the US. Here I am enjoying a double shot.
Today is day 8 and we have clocked up 923miles (1477kms). After lots of climbing yesterday over the Continental Divide, today was an easy day of only 104 miles (166kms) with a steady tail wind all day. We averaged about 20mph (32kph) on smooth roads and reasonably flat terrain - only one steady climb this morning (Stromlo x 3 in length). The temperature was our only problem with 105F when we arrived in Columbus. The sag wagon did a few trips to get us down to Yellowstone River for a cool down. Rob was the hero of the day when he saved a young local from the raging waters!
Things are going well but I wish Rob would stop trying to sing...
