I had no idea what the weather was gong to be this morning. According to the weather forecasters last night, I thought the morning would probably be a washout with a late morning departure. The light coming through the edges of the shades confirmed a cloudy start so I didn’t really get motivated right away…
My motel didn’t have a breakfast this morning so I had to do some hunting and gathering . Didn’t end up with a breakfast that you would call “an athletes breakfast”, but then you may not call me an athlete anyway. After all I’m just out for a morning ride. I took everyone’s advice and…
Yesterday marked the first time the humidity had noticeably dropped since we encountered it in Bazine, KS. At the end of the day it was 84 and comfortable. I got to the campground, set up camp, took a shower and was able to fiddle around the camp before bed without working up a sweat and…
I woke up right as the eastern sky was brightening and sat up a moment and briefly considered getting going before sanity retook the situation and I went back to sleep. The alarm went off at it’s usual 7am but today I was already awake. Took a minute to gather my thoughts then went about…
So I woke up alive this morning, or so they have let me believe. My relocation last night having obviously subverted the towns plans for me. Thanks to my advanced survival training and some sheets to hide under. I moved quickly and stealthily through the motel room, quickly gathering my things before being seen (except…
If you remember from back at Bazine, KS, one of our tent poles broke. The little coupler between the sections broke clean, Ahhh tempered aluminum. No big deal we were 2 days out of Salina were we would pick up a car and run back to Denver. There are plenty of REI’s there to get’r…
So I get into Winsor right about sunset, Beautiful little town all the lawns kept up, plenty of room and trees, houses with Victorian architecture. Pass the entrance to the Katy. I’ve been looking forward to getting here and I had a shower waiting for me to boot, good times… or were they? Followed the…
Alarm went off at 7 am as usual, picked up camp quickly to avoid any neighbors realizing there is a vagrant next door. Moved everything over to the picnic tables and proceeded to set up the computer to pay some bills. Technical issues ensued and caused me to shake my fists in the air once…
Alarm went off at 7 am, I know it’s not very early, whatever. Took forever to get camp picked up and food cooked. Hit the road about 9am. 1.5 miles into the ride I stopped at the grocery store for some more carbs and a nice cold drink of milk. While I was eating my…
10 August, 2009 Slept great in the back of the “camper”. Was woken by the alarm at 7am and got right on the road… after a little MickyD’s breakfast. Paid for that all day. Arrived at the rental car place at 9 am, right on schedule. Repacked my bags, hung them on the bike and…
