Riding solo & unsupported across the United States of America on a Bicycle! This Blog tells the tale of a long haired English bloke on a bike called Shinto cycling across America starting in Oregon and ending in Yorktown Virginia, solo, no support vehicle, just a man, a bike and a tent on the Adventure Cycling Association Trans America Bicycle Trail. Please forgive the endless typos, this blog was uploaded as I rode from my Cellphone.

At 4 am I was on the bike riding. The plan was to get some miles in before it got to hot to ride. So ten minutes into the ride and the heavens opened and I'm drenched to the skin in a heavy thundery shower. I took cover near some old barns but the sand turned to mud in the rain and things were looking messy. I kept riding and eventually it stopped raining. It's overcast today and humid and hit. I've met three westbound riders this morning and now I'm sitting next to fat hot dog woman at the gas station in Nickerson. Both knees are painfull now...Kansas headwinds really suck!
I'm going to take a break here then head to newton.
