Today I reached Cheyenne, capitol of Wyoming. There is a flood warning for the area – mostly for slow moving storms dumping water in an arid area. I had two instances of thunderstorms and wet riding. It didn’t get much warmer than 60F so no heat to worry about. The wet meant fewer photos today.

View from my hotel this morning. It was still lightly raining but weather radar showed the most intense front with lightning was past. I rode for about 45 minutes before it stopped raining. Today as yesterday was mostly a gradual climb of ~1000ft. Today I started just over 5000ft and finished a little over 6000ft. Winds were from the northeast so a tail/cross wind. My route followed frontage roads along interstate 80 for the first 32 miles. These were quiet starting out but surprisingly busy the last 10 miles.

Hooray the rain has stopped (for now). I got a second round coming into Cheyenne.

Rural mailboxes. There aren’t this many residences nearby so some people likely go a few miles from residence to mailbox.

I made one stop after 17 miles at a small store/gas station. This was 8 miles later and a larger truck stop. From here to the turnoff another 7 miles was busy. The road from there to Cheyenne was also busy with not much shoulder. It started raining again. Lightly at first and then more heavily.

Stopped raining just before I got to the capitol downtown. Time for the obligatory photo.

Bike with the capitol.

I checked the map and then made my way to a hotel on the south side of town. Today was wet and cool but also slightly shorter riding.
