Day 22: Roby-Albany 69 mi

Ugh! 2 days in a row with headwinds. The conditions were about the same as yesterday with chilly overcast skies and a steady headwind. At least I dressed more appropriately. It was a day of constant drudging peddling and my back ached because I spent most of my time down on my aerobars to get below the wind so ended spending almost an hour longer on the saddle and averaged an even slower speed. But I managed to pull into this small town of less than 2,000 and visit it's remarkable 'Old Jailhouse Museum' with a collection in modern climate controlled quarters of Renoirs, Goyas, Klees and a Picasso along with an Asian collection, actually in the old stone jailhouse, and preColimbian artfacts. There are other well maintained historical buildings and the 1883 era stone courthouse is striking.Many of us ate at The Fort Griffin Merchandise Restaurant/Beehive, a rustically decorated western building but one of the highest rated steakhouses featuring mesquite smoked grilling. Again, a surprisingly quality establishment in such a small town. Tomorrow we ride only 24 miles to Breckenridge to relax the rest of Easter Sunday.
