TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-142 Comments

Ness City to Lyons. 152.68km. 971m ascent. 6h40 ride time We had hoped the SSW wind would help us today, especially as it was very strong. More than 46km/h with gusts up to 60km/h 💨💨 This wasn’t really the case, it just made progress difficult. At least we had the wind upstream of the trucks…

Scott City to Ness City. 89.56 Km. 80m ascent. 4h15 ride time We slept at the gym in Scott City which was $15/person so not expensive and they have showers, a microwave and a coffee machine. Not much else and it was roasting hot. 31C when we went to bed and 29C when we got…

Sheridan Lake to Scott city. 124.42km. 99m ascent. 4h10 ride time You want flat, you get flat. Flatter than Holland today but we had a half decent tail wind so chain on the right (I don’t have a chain or a derailleur but the principle is the same). Biggest gear and full speed ahead We…

TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-11Leave a comment

Ordway to Sheridan Lake. 145.63km. 360m ascent. 7h25 ride time We had planned an early start for 3 reasons: 1, It was a long stretch. 2, to beat the heat. 3, to try to avoid the wind which is less strong mornings. Unfortunately we had enjoyed ourselves a bit too much the night before and…

TransAmTrailBy Piers2022-06-08Leave a comment

Guffy to Wetmore. 97.85km. 903m ascent. 4h54 ride time. Today we left Guffy after not sleeping at all well. We were both cold in the night and the military cots were not as comfortable as they looked. Nothing was open, not the bar, not the bakery and not the café…. This left us with about…
