The worst of the hills are now behind me until the Rockys, so bring on the Prairie - just praying for tailwinds!
Today has been very hot, about 35, but it is less humid as I go west in Missouri.
Last night I paid for a campsite (a first) and the facilities were awful. The free cyclist stuff along the way has been much better! Tonight I am camping in front of the town hall in a small town, and dinning (and washing) in Subway! I am actually a Subway virgin, so a first. A little fact, Subway now have more restaurants worldwide than anyone else (including McD). Thank God they are in this small town!
My Grandma and Grandpa suggested a use a whistle for chasing dogs - which are really bad on the USA. I have brought my Acne Thunderer (a world famous whistle for those not clued up), and except for leaving me deaf for about 5 mins, it seemed to work!
At the other end of the spectrum, I stopped at a dog rescue centre on the side of the road, and got to make friends with a number of puppies!
Have not met any cyclists today, but yesterday I had a drink with Scott, who had come from San Francisco, and owned a bike shop, so we did some adjustments to my back wheel. Cheers Scott!
So, about to tuck into a footlong Subway! Pic to follow!
