• Another Storm

    April 30 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

    I had a great rest last night in the tent even though it was only 40° when I woke up and my batteries had run out on my hoodie and socks again. But after I got out of the tent, I dashed into the America's Best to use the toilet without trying to explain myself to anyone! I rolled at 0430 with a clean face and without having to pee in a bush. Winning!!

    My very first picture of the day was of an old tractor. Unfortunately, I forgot to put down my kickstand before I tried to get off the bike 🤦. I was just starting to get the jack going when a very kind young man stopped and the two of us picked it up.

    The rest of the day was just getting photos, but I did enjoy being back at the geographic center of the lower 48. It's not a great ride to get there because it's pretty flat-straight-farmland-boring, but once you get there it's pretty cool to be at such a precise location.

    Just as I was getting into Great Bend, my radar showed a storm that was dumping snow near Pueblo CO, sort of where I'm headed to, and it was tracking all along my route for the rest of the day. So, I decided to get another hotel room with some hotel loyalty points and work on my routes and a few adulting things I need to do.

    Of note: I rolled 35,000 miles on the trip today 💪.

    Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
