Yesterday ended Phase II the same way it began, with a kiss - this time goodbye to Kathy, after two weeks along the Continental Divide. Phase III began the second half of the trip and was marked by heading out to the sparsely populated plains of eastern Colorado. I told Kathy that the first half of the trip was remarkable for the mountains and the western rivers, and that the second half would likely be notable more for the people along the way. This seems to be the case so far! (I'll be getting back to Gillian at another posting.) Also, with heat, I'm at least doubling fluid intake. I've had two days of headwinds, and expect another tomorrow before a favorable shift predicted for Wed./Thur. The wind is tiring. Saw about a dozen antelope. Heading to dinner at a cafe with another cyclist. That's it for now!
P.S. - Kathy made it to Paducah, KY for the night after 584 miles of driving today. Whewww, it's going to be a long bike ride!
