Randy Logan's wee Strom has performed as usual so far as well. We're nestled into our rooms, got a bit of sleep last night, and Randy's heading out somewhere today while I help with registration.

We took shelter under an abandoned service station overhang for about an hour yesterday with heavy rain, hail, and who knows what else. After the storm passed, the temperature dropped at least 30 degrees and maybe closer to 40. It was 47 degrees when we stopped for a late lunch in northern Nebraska.

Brick:
Today we rode down to bag Loveland pass then back up ending in Wheatland, Wy. It was cold when we started cool all day and we got 40 miles of either lite rain or mist or fog or??? Not enough to make us stop to put on more gear.
