Day 19: Cruis'n USA

84.6 miles. Averaged 14.8 mph. The first 16 miles were straight up a mountain. Along the way up we ran into what we thought was someone's dog. He was very friendly and provided some company all the way to the top. That's when we realized he had to be a stray dog. We averaged about 7 mph going up. Then the next 68 miles were all down hill through Capitol Reef National Park. It was awesome. The wind was at our backs too so it made the ride even more enjoyable. For a while it felt like we were playing N64. So now we're camping out in Hanksville, UT. We at least half-way through the state and we won't hit another large mountain until Colorado. Hopefully the wind will be at our backs again tomorrow.

It was very cold and windy at the summit
