Today we woke up and got ready for our 4th century in a row. We packed quickly, and were on the road by 5:45. Just like yesterday, the fog was dense enough to cut through, and as we rode, all of the equipment got drenched! The one plus to this climatic conundrum was that we didn’t have to endure the heat of the Kansas plains…. well at least not yet... It started raining about an hour later, and it rained for most of the morning. About 40 miles into our day, a cop came up to my car while I was parked- lights flashing- and I was scared that it was illegal to park where I was. Gratefully, he was just checking to see that I hadn’t broken down- and with that, he went on his way. We checked our mileage at noon again, and we broke our old record. We had already gone 72.6 miles when we stopped at a diner in Pratt, Kansas! It was still cloudy and cold when we went into the restaurant, but when we left, it was super hot and sunny. The temperature had climbed into the 80’s- and the humidity was killing us! We chugged for another couple hours and made it to Kingman right around 3:00- but of course our day can’t be over yet… Jerry popped a tire just 5 minutes from the hotel. We pulled into the hotel to find a nice swimming pool. However, the bee sitting next to me at the pool wasn’t so nice…
