391 miles today. North Platte, Nebraska to Woodward, Oklahoma.

KSU was 8:00 AM, a little later than normal since it was 54 degrees. Brrr! Bundled up, layered up, buckled up and… eventually it warmed up to around 80 and the layers came off. With the exception of those two massive construction delays , it was, as many folks along the way commented, “a beautiful day for a ride!”

This flagger was quite chatty. But she would not let us put our kickstands down for our FIFTEEN MINUTE delay. She said the blacktop was too soft, so we had to hold the bikes up in the wind. The trucker behind us got out to ask how long, and then made a snide remark about being a female on a construction crew. She ended up switching to our pilot car driver after the wait, of which we were thankful because the other driver was really slow.


Tomorrow does not look as promising. For the first time in ten days, it looks like we are heading into a storm. Yikes!
Á la prochaine…until next time.
