Today we rode from Dodge city to great Bend Kansas. The scenery wasn’t much different than the past several days. I have included a few pictures below of a few different things that we did see. I was able again to complete the entire day of riding which was 86 miles. Initially we did have a headwind, but then the wind changed and we had a tail wind. The weather again cooperated and we had no rain and the temperatures were cool as we approach. Great Bend it became a little bit warmer. I am truly enjoying this trip across the country. The group I am traveling with are incredibly nice and friendly and fun.

    That part of the country is really flat and tedious driving. Keep up the good work.

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.
