Resting in Owensboro today. 6 days of riding this time. I'm gonna go watch a couple of movies and hit up a public library.
I've got 2,820 miles to go. To make Aug 1 (53 days) that's 53.2 miles/day (down from 54.3). To make Aug 7 (60 days) that's 47 miles a day (down from 48.7).
In a couple of days I'll be at the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. This is more of a dissected plateau than a mountain range. This will be the most hilly by far (300 miles or so).
After that I've got the plains of Kansas and Colorado. This will be almost no hills at all as I climb 4,000 feet over 600 miles. This will be the most windy by far. It would be awesome just to get one day of strong tailwinds to get in a century during the trip.
After that I've got the Rockies and the desert. This will be the hardest part.

Brian,
ReplyDeleteI read where bug spray works just as well as mace, in case you can't replace the mace that was stollen. You're doing great. Hope you are taking a lot of pictures.
