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.

And todays lesson...
When safely ensconced in a safe church for the night thou shalt not go to the gas station store for Hershey bars because verily the door shalt lock you out in the thunder storm...oooops lol!
Yep...I managed to lock myself out of a church at the very moment the heavens opened and the heaviest rain yet came down. So like a drowned rat I tried to call the pastor but at&t let me down as usual...saying I am not allowed to call that number...no funds...fair enough so I go through five attempts at the automated robot and each time it cuts me off rather than empty my.bank account in its favor...trust me, if you come to America at&t really really SUCK!
...so I go back to the fas station to the lady who just told me she loves my accent and she gave me her cell phone so I can call the pastor. The pastor is a great guy...very helpful abs friendly and thankfully he was at the door to unlock it before I got back...so here I am on the inside of the window listening to this huge storm here lashing against the windows...eating Hershey bars.
I thouht it was pretty funny...mostly as I'm running across town with jeans two sizes to big for me now...soaking wet trying to stop them falling down....oh the joys of cycle touring lol!
