Sea-to-Sea NA Day 18 I was busy prying my lower lip off of my bottom teeth with my upper teeth (if you can imagine that manoeuvre) when looking up I spotted what looked like Walter’s motor home off in the distance. The hot dry desert wind was against us and the sun was beating down on us. There was only sagebrush for miles along both sides of the road, not a leaf anywhere to give you shade. The only thing of interest was the long straight road ahead and the possibility of a water stop. We were running low on water and then your mouth starts to feel like you have taken a good a shot of Elmer’s finest glue. We were about 100km into our ride for the day; about to cross the Utah state line. With another 40 to go this would be our last stop. We had something to eat, the third time we had done this and refilled all our bottles and set off again, the serious climbing behind us. From here there was a gradual downhill but the headwind pretty well cancelled any advantage that that afforded. It was cool when we pulled out of camp at 7:30. We dodged the sprinkler systems that sprayed the road in order not to get any colder. How we longed for just a little of that spray latter in the day. The two major climbs came fairly early in the morning and were not steep enough to require our granny gear (I’m not complaining). Going down was a 5% grade but with the headwind I couldn’t get the bike over 68kph. Pulling into Snowville around 1:30 the local Café already had some bikes leaning against the wall. Cold water was set before us the moment we walked in and homemade pie and ice cream was the order of the day. The camp tonight is the most primitive to so far in the trip. This town has a population of 175 and exists only because it is near the I84 and has a Fly J at the intersection. The camp is in the local park/baseball diamond. Our shower consists of a garden hose surrounded by a tarped off area. Straight cold water splashing on us sure cooled you down in a hurry. Tomorrow is a shorter day again, only 100km, stay tuned.
