 Today we rode from Guymon Oklahoma, and we crossed another state line into Kansas. We rode in to Liberal Kansas. Along the way we didn’t see much more than just flat planes. It was a nice ride today. The weather cooperated and we avoided rain. The temperatures were quite comfortable. When we arrived into Liberal Kansas, we did go to Dorothy’s house from the Wizard of Oz. In the gift shop on the second floor, there were some old medical equipment, including surgical instruments, a surgical bed, an old old wheelchair and an old old examining table. This was quite interesting to me. We then went to the aviation Museum, and saw many many different types of older planes. They were all very well restored.  After that, I rode back towards the hotel. Because it was early enough I was actually able to have lunch today. The ride was a short ride of only 42 miles to the hotel but because I rode additionally around town it was another 4 miles. Below are some pictures. I have also included a video of some of my fellow bikers. I hope you enjoy it. I forgot to add. We went to Hooker Oklahoma. Very interesting place.

Days 2&3

 Yesterday on day two we rode to Indio California. I did pretty well. I did get in the SAG wagon for a little bit. But I was able to complete the ride to the hotel. We rode through Palm Springs, which was an interesting place with lots of wealthy places. The town or city itself had a lot of different shops and restaurants. We did not eat there though. Although at the end of Palm Springs, or as I was leaving it, I did stop at a Carl juniors and had a couple of pieces of chicken and was able to fill up my fluids with lots of ice. It was quite warm yesterday. I did not take any pictures and I apologize for that. I was pretty intent on just doing the ride.  and had a couple of pieces of chicken and was able to fill up my fluids with lots of ice. It was quite warm yesterday.

First Day

Image
 I completed my first day.  I did pretty well. I completed 77 out of 84 miles. Had a little difficulty with nutrition and hydration at one point. Overall, it was a good day. Went through a lot of LA. Also went through a place called Gardena which reminded me of skiing in Italy. We were at Val Gardena. The last 7 miles were a climb similar to the beginning of the Kangamangus Clinb and I decided to play it safe and get in the SAG wagon. Most of the scenery today was city like. We did go through an area of where multiple homeless folks were living. That was kind of sad. Below is a picture of me at Manhattan pier just before we left. That is today’s update.
