A great nights sleep and I got on the road by 6am again, I didn’t have a point I was aiming for today but just thought I’d ride and see what happens.
Dark again for a start but no wind so I was able to get a few miles in early. Once the sun came out it got real hot again, well into the 30âs again.
Just miles and miles of farms out here, Growing wheat and hay and also saw lots of cattle today for a change. The tractors and trucks out here are a size bigger than normal as the fields are bloody huge. Nice friendly farmers waved and said hi which was awesome.
The views didn’t really change all day.
As the afternoon disappeared I saw two riders coming towards me, I pulled over and said hi ,Vyacheslav Stoyanov  and Yana Melamed  from Bulgaria have cycled from Alaska and are heading all the way to South Amercia but not in a straight line, which I loved, straight lines arenât fun haha . We chatted for a while and exchanged info on the roads ahead. They even hooked me up with some Bear spray which I had been looking for but hadnât found. Thanks so much guys.  Super fun and lots of laughs which when I said good bye kept me smiling for the next hour. I copied the below info .

I also meet a fellow Kiwi Garreth and his lady Ryan. He came over after over hearing me chatting, He is living up in Alaska and is on a road trip to USA. I tried to buy his t-shirt haha I loved it. But no good. I wouldn’t have sold it either, Thanks for saying hi and have a awesome trip bro, Ill be up to see you one day.
Then I saw on the map a small town and thought Id pull in for the nite but it was really small and nothing or nowhere to camp so I went hard for another 45mins to make it to Shoal Lake town. I got some food and water and checked out the area and spotted this little place, Not sure I was surpose to camp here but it was almost dark and I quickly put up the tent and left the orange fly off for a start until it got dark so I wouldn’t st and out. It worked and no one said anything.
I had a good day in Miles too with 117 miles/190kms, The little follow wind I had helped heaps, I just hope it stays with me as the distance will half with it in my face. If it can stay with me for 2-3 more days Ill be super happy.
I have started listening to a new Audiobook called âShantaramâ and its helping waste the days away nicely. I have had the real book for maybe 5 years but had only read 5 pages. It’s a huge book too so Ill get it all done in a week or two.
No more news, Im out nite
