Wyoming is beautiful...yet can be harsh.  High winds, cold temperatures, and rain--more rain--and yet more rain greeted me.  The last time I rode through Wyoming (in 2007) it also rained much of the trip and I encountered a hail storm as well.  A good amount of time on Day 104 of Education Ride 365 was spent wondering which of the two rides was harsher.  At least there were wonderful snow-capped mountains like those above in view through long stretches.  I also had heated clothing on.  With these two consolations, I powered through the long ride, much of it on rural roads that were winding, hilly, and a bit slick.
