Day 3 is only 57 miles, the second shortest of the week. The organizers also made this the flattest of the week too as we only climb 1,317 feet. Here is a synopsis of the route:
Jefferson to Grand Junction: 8 miles
Grand Junction to Dana: 5.6 miles
Dana to Ogden: 15.9 miles
Ogden to Boone: 8.3 miles
Boone to Ames: 19 miles
We will arrive in "Cyclone Country" on Tuesday evening. I look at Day 3 as a possible "recovery day" as it is low on mileage. Combine that with only 1,317 feet of climbing, and this might be a good day to take it slow, hydrate, and recharge for the rest of the week. That's my strategy now. We'll see how my strategies evolves as the week progresses.
