Monday April 21, 2008, 119 miles (192 km) - Total so far: 2,641 miles (4,250 km)
Another easy day. 119 mostly unexciting miles on highway 90.I started the day by getting a ride to the post office from the hotel and then back onto the route without missing a foot. Turns out if I would have rode it, I would have done 9 miles extra out of the way. I didn't feel like dealing with that. Another guest at the hotel had a truck and offered to take me. In my care package were chocalate chip cookies that Brook baked for me using my dad's recipe. Yum! I rode all day on highway 90 and didn't have any exciting moments except a few sad attempts by dogs to chase me. I expected more out of them. They hardly tried!I met a couple from northern British Columbia doing part of the Southern Tier and then following the Mississppi river north. They just retired and will be hiking the Appalachian Trail next.. Right after the bike trip. I almost bonked coming up the last hill into town. I didn't feel like eating today so that probably had something to do with it. I actually almost fainted and had to stop and regroup so I didn't crash the bike. A bannana and some gels and a few minutes rest got me going again the last mile into town. Since nothing happened today I'm sure tomorrow will deliver all sorts of excitement. We'll see!
