Today was tougher than I thought it was going to be. It was hot, and that made all the difference. It was about a 4000 foot gain from Lockeford to Black Station Inn, which is in the location of one of the old Pony Express stops.

In Jackson, I stopped at the surprisingly full function bike shop there, and bought a new pair of biking shorts to try and solve the chafing issue (which wasn't quite as bad today, but will definitely stop this trip if I don't get a handle on it).
