Up and at 'em early again this morning determined to make it to Alyssa's to see my daughter and granddog, Delta.
Below is a pic of the sunrise this morning.
Today was like the previous few days. Lots of wind, hills, and headwind. I think I'm getting more patient with the headwinds. Don't try to beat them or they will beat you. Just like climbing a mountain, put your bike in a comfortable gear, take your time, and you will eventually get there. Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow.
I spent several miles on Kansas gravel roads like the one pictured below. I could have stayed on blacktop U.S. highways, but I was ready for a break from the noisy, speeding traffic. The isolation from the traffic was nice. However, I did get passed by a couple of tractors.
Pics below of main street, Clyde, Kansas, which is a neat little town I went through today.
Looks like the old homestead pictured below is just about to give in to time.
I finally made it to Alyssa's apartment. Alyssa was still at work when I arrived, but left a key hidden outside so I could get in. Delta growled at me when he first saw me, but then immediately warmed up to me. Below is a pic of Alyssa and Delta.
Alyssa cooked me about 4 servings of spaghetti for supper and I ate it all. It was fantastic.
Total miles today: 86.3
