Day 15 recap

WINDY. Umm...that about sums it up. Aslo, the temperature reached the tar bubble on the asphalt level. I heard the wind start last night and was worried. And I was right to be. It was a sustained 20 mph wind out of the SSW with gusts into the 30s, I'm sure. I had one heck of a time keeping the bike from being blown into the ditch! For 108 of the day's 130 miles I battled this wind as I rode west. I yelled at it. I gnashed my teeth at it. I flipped it off. None of these actions mattered one bit to the wind, my nemesis.

But I was rewarded at the end of my journey with a swimming pool at the park in Buhler. What a splendid swim I had! There's only one drawback to Buhler. The restaurants close at four on saturday and aren't even open on sunday. I'm told that the shops are closed too. But a lifeguard took pity on Boy Blunder and is going to bring some food over to the park for our weary hero.
