Mid West/East Coast Bike Tour

PS: There’s a Farmville app now. You don’t have to use FB anymore.

Yeah, because it would have been 100 if I didn’t stop when I did, and I do t feel like being in the heat that long… Fucking asshat

Calm down. Take your Metamucil, bro.

Eat your dried prunes and go to bed gramps, you’re getting cranky.

I’m good, just in semi shitty mood now, because I went to ride a trail to the “store by the lake” to get bug spray, because I left mine. And this trail is supposed to be 4.5 miles each way(no big deal). Well, it was, but it also had so many horse divots and if there wasn’t horse divots, then there was a shit ton of fucking sand. WTF. Who makes a fucking biking trail with fucking sand… It would have been faster and easier for me to ride 8.5 miles to the grocery store in pilot point then to fucking ride here…

I know you fuckers are just giving me shit, but I have to dish it right back to ya :wink:

Incidentally, I’m jealous of your tour.

I am too, but I just want to get further north and out of the fucking blistering sun. Seriously it sucks. I should benin Kansas within the next week… That should be a little better, which means I’ll be able to leave at like 7 in the morning instead of 3

It’s currently 100° in Wichita KS with a heat index of 104. It was actually 108 yesterday, holy fuck.

I’m sure the humidity isn’t the same…

It’s for the sweet skids. Duh.

I was doing plenty of that… Believe me. At one point it was so bad, that I had to get off and walk through a foot (deep) worth of sand…worse then being on a real beach

you should get some sun sleeves, for serious. i picked up a pair from pearlizumi and a pair from craft, also my shop has some from specialized. both pairs are white and i think they actually keep me cooler than no sleeves in addition to protecting my pale complexion.

That is something to think about, I usually go without the jersey until the sun has been up for about an hour… But riding in the tx heat is not fun anyway you look at it… Stopped for coffee break, about to cross the tx/ok border in about 28 miles

Drink more water, get lots of salt.

I have been drinking about 2.5-3 gallons of water a day… Salt I put on everything, because I wasnt able to score any in fort worth before I left… To much procrastinating, I wonder if the samll town I’m going to tomorrow will have any

Dude, are you moving north when you get back from Europe? I thought I had remembered you saying something about that…

Yeah… Either minneapolis or Chicago…

Almost to Tulsa, OK this morning, stopped for some coffee and a smoke, because the bridge I’m supposed to cross, is out, and needed to re-route. Will update the blog later this afternoon.

Kind of hard to see, but that fucker was 16% for about a half mile
