Day 16, Monday, June 20, 2005
Green River, UT to Grand Junction, CO
(3,110 feet climbing) 95 miles, 12.1 mph, 7hr 48min 33sec
(max speed 35.5 mph)
Up at 5:00, 5:45 load luggage, 6:00 continental breakfast at hotel, 6:15 on the road.
Weather prediction again is for sunny skies, headwinds 20 - 25 mph and temperature in low 90's. We got a very early start due to distance (95 miles), expected headwinds and expected high temperature of low 90's.
Also, the photo opps were few. I just tried to ride at a steady comfortable pace against the headwinds and the road surface was that awful chip seal, bumpy and often uneven. We all were very glad when this day was over.
