Biking Across the U.S (hopefully)
Huron - Toledo 75
The days definitely run together on this trip. At the end of the day yesterday I kept checking the weather, getting disheartened because it was showing the exact same 10-20mph headwinds for the next day. I couldn't figure out why the weather would be the exact same. Finally, after rechecking it a million times I realized I was reviewing that same days' weather.... so of course it would be the exact same. If you look at today's weather thinking it's tomorrow, it's going to always be the same as today. Pretty soon I'm not going to know what date, day, or month it is. Unfortunately the weather wasn't that different, but I got to hop on a pretty sweet paved trail that took me halfway to Toledo. On the trail a guy named Alan caught up to me (slowed down for me) and chatted for most of the trail. Definitely helped keep my mind off the wind and log some quick miles. I think from here on out, any non-trail path I take is going to almost exclusively be through farmland, which is only going to exasperate the issue of days/time running together. Toledo is a little... rough... so thankfully I had a place to lay my head at a dude named Larry's house. Great guy who hiked some of the Appalachian Trail and (which I'm pretty jealous of) bikes some of the Natchez Trace trail, a paved parkway that goes from Natchez, MS to Nashville, TN. But I guess I have to focus on this trip first.
