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.

Sunday stRted early at 5 am. I had tailwinds for 65 miles from deighton and thankfully my knee held up. Along the way I called in at elained b and b for cyclists and was treated to icecream fruit and a very welcome shower. It was to early in the day to
Stop riding and this tailwind is fun so I didn't check in and carried on my way. I wojld recomme.d elaines oasis to any cyclist on this route.
I got to rush centre and found everything closed. It's to hot to ride now at over 40c in the shade so I'm sitting in some shade at the gas station where there is a soda machine. A coke costs a dollar but the machine let's you have it for 25cents. I ran out of change but two farmers in a pick up truck called in for gas...they didn't have change for a 20$ bill so they just gave me 3$ for the soda machine! I have never k.own people as friendly as they are here in Kansas. Thanks guys!
