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.

Waking up
This morning I suddenly realized the sprinkler system would likely switch on at dawn so I got up and broke the tent down before it got soaked. I said goodbye to Laura, James and George who were heading to grand Teton and turned east to lander. I rode through the Indian reservation along the wind river and bought cherries at fort washakie. Riding along eating cherries I wondered if in ten years time the barren road to lander would be a cherry tree avenue! I call on all future transammers to buy cherries here and spit pips alo.g the road ha ha. I met riders from the aca trsnsam east west supported tour I was looking for Simon from cyclechat but missed him...I must have rode right past him...I shouted hi but we crossed without catching up...oh well...I wish you a great final third trip Simon!
Today is hotter than yesterday ans I'm heading for Sweetwater junction. I've been warned by four cyclists that jeffry city is a hell hole so ill ride through and out tomorrow. Right now I'm in subway in lander charging the cell phone and drinking by bodyweight in coke refills! No WiFi though. I wonder if that old Indian guy found his truck yet lol!
