Yee Hah! Wyoming

Today was our first day in Wyoming! The morning went by quickly and we were very happy to receive a pizza donation from the Conoco Gas Station. However, the nice weather with tail wind did not last too long. The afternoon was very windy and hot. It was not easy at all to push in the dry and hot wind. Wyoming is so vast and open. For most of the team members who grew up in Chicago suburbs, this scenery is so surreal. The grassy rolling hills of Wyoming are more desert than those in South Dakota. After the whole day of riding, the team was so excited to have a delicious dinner prepared by the people of The First United Methodist Church of Gillette. To cap the day off, Gillette community center offered us nice shower with real towels.
