It sucked. All factors equal.
Bad timing on your part. Met a couple who'd started late from Lander (after 8:00) and made it near Jeffrey City by noon, sitting up and laughing all the way. Me? I was pedaling about as hard as I could, downhill, to keep moving and to top 4 mph going into Sweetwater Crossing.
