June 2 Protien bars and trail mix for breakfast. 600 plus calories. On the road by 7. Hills and headwind. Going to be a long day! The novelty of the ride is over. But, then, that is a part of the ride. May as well enjoy the journey. While its not all about the journey, the journey is a big part of what is happening. Reality sets in. My schedule for the first week anticipated optimum conditions. Guess I will have to make adjustments. Second breakfast at 10 in Superior, NE. The guys downtown promised me the hills are not as bad in NE! :-). Nelson 13 miles and lunch ... LOL. Pleased to say they were right! All the restaurants closed on Mondays. Ampride made me a real nice chefs salad. Need my greens and veggies and it hit the spot. 3:30 in Clay Center with 16 miles to go. Staying with Richard & Mary Classen. Found them on Mennonite Your Way. Forecast for bad weather tomorrow, may have to stay over for an extra day. The afternoon was warm and allowed the muscles to warm up allowing for a steady pace, although I still had a crossing head wind. Most of the uphills were long a gradual. Like all things in life, you just gear down and go. Arrived at Dick and Marys farm about 5:45. Sand roads are not fun! But, well worth the effort. Had a wonderful meal and good conversation. Mary is related to Carol Dirks and had actully mentioned me to Nolan who is in Henderson working at the Boys Home this summer. He was riding his bike down to a resevoir on the route I took, but, I didnt see while I was riding. Severe weather forecastfor late afternoon tomorrow. Ride early and quit early, or possibly stay another day. Probably see what I can get and reschedule the route. Rough day today, can probably use a shorter day! 84.2 miles
