Pretty easy

Biked 55 miles today to Milford. Pretty easy stuff since there was only one range to pass through and it was a pretty easy grade. Tomorrow I'll have 3 ranges at steep grades for 84 miles and finally hit Nevada.

Almost halfway into the ride I caught up with a couple of students (one just graduated, one's almost done) doing half the country (they started in Missouri I think). There's a good bet I'll be riding with them for a little while at least. They seem pretty nice.

At the end of the ride, while I was working on getting a motel room, a 67 year old lady with an end-of-world fetish accosted them. She originally was quite nice and gave them about $15 to contribute to the trip. I joined the group and then she asked us if we knew about the New World Order.

She believes the Illuminati and the power-elite are working to eliminate 80% of the world's population via a modified Ebola virus while keeping the young and fit (us) around as slaves. This effort was started by Bush and is now being led by Kenyan-born Obama. The rounding up of people is already starting in other countries and in some US states (people are being sent to FEMA camps). Oh and don't ever talk with black people because they might be a member of the Black Panthers who are Obama's henchmen in all of this.

She went on and on for about an hour while the other two just nodded while I sat there with a huge grin on my face. I wanted to engage her on some of her crazier points, but I didn't want to jeapardize the money she gave the other two and they felt obligated to listen to her ramblings because of the money.

She 100% believed everything she was saying. It was awesome.
