I didn't get much sleep last night. I was working and posting blog entries until the wee hours of the morning. At 5 a.m. someone decided that it would be the perfect time to try out their leaf blower. It must have worked because when I got up at 6 there wasn't a leaf to be seen for miles.
I got on my bike and started my quest to get to Kansas. The first few hours were great. I had a nice tailwind and met Glenn (see pic). We rode together for around 20 miles. Glenn warned me that the winds would shift around later in the day and boy was he right on target. The afternoon and evening I fought a headwind for hours and hours. I managed to get 156 miles in for the day just by slogging through the winds. Deb and Kayla found a really nice outdoor pool with a slide & diving board in the town of La Junta. It got pretty warm in the afternoon but nothing compared to what we had in Nevada. Only 31 more miles until Kansas!
Leaf blower? Ididn't think they even knew what they were out there.
