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.

Well here I am back in the cafè in lamont Wyoming ordering a cheeseburger with everything and a pasta salad...real food..gotta back the most of it while I can out here! There are six guys here I've been talking with who are drilling for oil here ..and truck drivers passing through...its a real 'greasy spoon' place with salt of the earth people...makes a change from the rip off garage stores and processed food.
My tipee has a double bed with a hot kitten in it..ha ha..the wigwam cat won't let me go..very affectionate cat. This place plays led zeppelin music..its set out like its still 1945 but I'm seeing real America..talking to oil drillers ..you say mate we say buddy..type conversation. They want to know about English women..I'm more the European type lol!..one of them didn't know where England was..omg..anyway ..I've also met Fred who is cycling home to Ohio from Astoria..he has ridden the southern tier across the states already and is riding the trsnsam route back. He also isn't a Wyoming wind fan!
