Spencer's ride of the Pony Express Trail is sponsored by Heartland Health and the Mark Reynolds Fund, paid for by Gary and Dona Reynolds in memory or their son Mark, bike enthusiast.
From: Delta, UT
Taking a break from riding after a wonderful Mexican lunch in the library.
Made it across the 88 mile desert this morning. We started really well until the headwinds kicked in. It slowed us down quite a bit but we still made good time.
The desert is totally without people. Somehow they graze some cattle there. As we went by, a few cattle chased us for about a mile. We did see one German cyclist going the other way.
It is totally amazing how far you can see and how clear the air is here. I am sure the camera will not do the area justice but I keep taking photos anyway.
Hope to make it to Eureka, UT today (it is getting hot out) and hopefully we will be in Wyoming tomorrow.
