68 miles to Lincoln, Kansas.
Wash, rinse, repeat. Another 68 mile day. Another day with the wind blowing west/northwest while we're headed east/southeast.
We hit the road today at 6:40am riding in heavy fog. The sun tried valiantly to break through but the clouds kept thickening through the day. That was OK with us as it helped to keep the temperatures down. We had a planned stop at mile 36 at a convenience store but when we got there the store was closed. So we headed down the road to mile 46 where another gas station/convenience store was listed on Google Maps. The skies were getting darker and started to rain lightly. Then the wind picked up and it was clear we were in for a storm. We made it to the store just as the heavy rain started. Inside the store several people stopped us and asked about our trip. One guy said if we wanted to ride to his house he would cook us a nice hot lunch. Another lady said we were welcome to stay the night in some sheds she had across the street if we wanted to wait out the storm. Super nice people. We had some pizza and drinks, put on our rain gear and hit the road.
We made it to our motel at 3:15pm. Another long day. After checking in to the motel I asked the lady at the desk about a place to eat dinner. She said nothing is open in town but she would cook for us if we would like!! Again, super nice people. We didn't want to inconvenience her so we ended up getting some sandwiches and snacks at the gas station next door.
