Dalhart TX to Guyman OK

Miles: 73
Elevation Gain: 500 ft
Another state crossing. Sorry about the double picture yesterday. I meant to put the TX crossing picture in. So here it is today.

The wind gods were not with us today. We started the ride in the fog. It only lasted about 10 miles and was overcast for a while after that. Although there was no climbing to speak of, it was a tough day of riding. We had a strong head wind today. Thank goodness for the Crossroad mechanics who were riding today. They slowed down and let me draft for at least 40 miles today. I would probably have not been able to do the whole ride without that help.

The country is changing again. It is much greener here and we are starting to see large grain elevators. Tomorrow is our shortest riding day - 39 miles.

  1. Six days to cross Kansas! It was my favorite part of the trip last year. Great people and lots and lots of wheat! Enjoy tomorrow's ride.
