Much of the same things we see as we head from Colorado to Nebraska, fields, rolling hills, no mountains (BOO) and more fields. Today is Wednesday, hump day, and well...it also is significant for it is the halfway marker in days for this tour. The following sign is the entrance to Nebraska, what is with all the bullet holes? Is Nebraska really part of the good life, or are shot gun holes significant for having a good life.
Today, Theresa, Annette, Jeff, Stretch (MARK -- he's 6'7") and I took the mini-est detour, and probably the only side trip I will do on this tour for it was only 3 km out of the way. We went to Kansas, stayed a few minutes and then turned around. I wanted to add another state to the trip...although as we turned off the highway...we went into a headwind and uphill, Jeff and someone else complained blatantly...but i kept them interested and told them it's one of those things we can do, and it wouldn't take us very long.
This is Kansas, very much like Nebraska...aha, since we are only a few feet in.
DISGUSTING FACTOR: GRASSHOPPERS... they are everywhere on the road, trying to hitch a ride on our bikes, on our bodies...we dodge them as they are flying at us, and fling them when they get caught in our spokes. Sometimes then go from one bike to the next, or dodge one biker and hit the next. I had some upclose encounters (in the face) of flying grasshoppers and thats enough for me.
It was another hot day in paradise...when we arrived a Walter's sag stop, we were bushed and we had many miles to go...many.
HEAT RASH: basically every day i am getting heat rash on my legs, and it disappears over night yet to return again the next day...cause, well, we are hot...
