Yesterday was a long ride with a steady 30-35 mph wind coming at us from the South. It's interesting that Dan, who can handle the hills better than I can, has a harder time with the flat ride dealing with the winds than I do. He has termed me a "flatlander" - well coming from Delaware that about describes my riding style! Riding in Kansas is not a lot different than riding in Delaware.
The ride dealing with that wind is exhausting, especially 92 miles of it, which we did yesterday. Found a nice motel to stay in last night, with a pool, laundry facilities and a great free breakfast. It is so nice we decided to stay an extra day and make it a rest day. Laundry done, a bit of bike maintenance, good breakfast, steak dinner, rest. We will be up and ready to move on tomorrow!
Please don't forget to pass on the word about my ride; and don't forget it's for a good cause. Click on the "Benefiting Livestrong" logo at the top of this page to donate. And thanks.
