Bright blue sky, 55 degrees when I start before 7am, and a headwind, 10 to 15 mph. Fairly flat, long views, manage 11 or 12 mph most of the day-- 98 miles in 8 1/2 hours. Does warm up, but still a great day to ride. See antelope, and a very out of place looking turkey, scrambling alongside the highway fence trying to escape into the fields.
Crossing into Montana I met Diego and Wenndy, from Spain, heading to Devils Tower and Yellowstone. They had flown in to Chicago, where Diego had bought the motorcycle on Ebay. He planned to ship it home when they depart from LA.
Diego assumed I was European since he never saw Americans touring by bike back in Spain, where he's a policeman in Navarro. And no, he didn't pull me over for speeding.
