Temperature is dropping dramatically verging on chilly. Storm cell on the horizon. Winds picking up. Prepping for wet running.

traffic cooking in the sun

Sunny. Warm. These roads are much better than interstate. Large swaths of water with vegetation but few opportunities for good photos.

People here look really rough.

Granted there were short stops but 1:45 and so far so good.

No restroom here.

loitering at the gas station a young guy complimented the bike asking how fast it goes. Not fast. Only 139.

He rides a KLX300.

192 miles in a single on-bike stretch, 2:41 and I'm not feeling too bad at all.

This seems to be a poor area. A bit rough.

Underway 10:45

warm sunny breezy. Rain forecast for later.

I need to improve getting up and out earlier. This is a bit ridiculous.

Phone died.

Hot out here. Still doing well. Very little pain. Approaching two hours.
