Pretty good morning. Pretty bad afternoon. The morning was low traffic and low winds. The afternoon was very strong headwinds, lots of trucks, and not much shoulder. Flat terrain all day long. We survived.
Originally we were going to stop in Nickerson and camp there tonight. Instead we pushed north to Lyons, which is off route but allows us to go west all day tomorrow (we went north today instead of tomorrow). This is good because tomorrow we *should* be getting a tailwind all day long :). It's not going to be super strong, but by the afternoon it should be 10-15 mph. This will be my first all day direct tailwind on easy terrain :).
Let's hope the forecast is accurate. I should be getting in at least 95 miles. I'm not sure if David's gonna make it though. I think he might be pushing himself too hard to keep up with me. He's down to his last 3 Codeine.
There are these really annoying kids outside Wendy's yelling at cars to eat there. Something to do with the 4H club. I've got no idea where they're getting so much energy. Yeesh.
Ahh. I forgot to mention that during the ride to Newton a random lady gave us 20 bux for lunch! She's a cyclist living along the trail and oftentimes hands out Gatorade and the like to passing bikers. I thought it noteworthy.
That's it for today. Pretty standard day.
Did 73 miles.
