The story today is about the wind! The strategy is to ride early before the wind picks up. The entire route today was on K96, which seems to be the main line for cattle and grain haulers in this part of the world. K96 with almost no exceptions is straight east-west. The wind was 18 MPH from the south. For portions of the route, the shoulder was less than two feet wide. Take my word on this-when your that close to the road and a cattle truck comes from behind you or passes you going the other direction, it’s an unpleasant experience!
We’re staying at a bike hostel provided by the Scott County Fitness Center. Richard, Mike, and Nick are here, too. We were told the water heater had failed and wouldn’t be replaced until tomorrow. Luckily they got the water heater replaced today. My stinky self rejoices!
