Day 2: Dubois to Riverton Another sunny day with hardly a cloud in the sky. Could this really be Wyoming in May? We were beginning to think we'd cheated the fates and got great weather along with off-season traffic.
At 80+ miles this was our longest day's ride. But we were dropping a couple of thousand feet of elevation and the prevailing winds, though light, were at our back. Mostly ranch land scenery through the Wind River Indian Reservation. Two small towns along the way consisting of just a gas station, convenience store, and post office but they were welcome refueling stops. |

And everyone's pulling horse trailers and wearing ten gallon hats. Next
