Today was an easy day - 93 miles with only one major climb. I don't think I've ever called a 93 mile ride easy before this trip. However, tomorrow is supposed to be one of the most difficult days - 150 miles with lots of climbing as we head to Vernal, Utah. I have been collecting everyone's remedies for saddle soreness. In preparation for tomorrow's ride, I stopped by WalMart and bought everything that I could find that anyone mentioned they used - most of it located in the infant section related to diaper rash. This is the ugly side of long distance cycling. At every food stop along the road, we all grease up. It's quite the bonding experience as we all stand around with our hands in our pants applying our chamois cream. I'm afraid we might all get arrested one day.
