(83.5mi,9.7mph,3586ft)
Got up early after little sleep due to wind, heat, and being sprayed by the sprinklers around 11pm. The wind was still blowing around 25mph from the north in the morning, so we had a crosswind/headwind to contend with. We averaged 8mph on the first 35 miles, but there was only a small gas station in Haswell, so we continued to Eads for lunch. The ride to Eads was easier and we weren't quite as drained when we arrived. After a hot dog and some jerky, we decided to ride another 28 miles to Sheridan Lake. We were hoping to reach Kansas today, but Tribune is the next town with services and it's 30 miles from here. We had pizza and ice cream after a long day in the wind, and then we were invited to stay at the local church for the night. We did some laundry in the sink and are looking forward to better sleep than the last two windy nights. Definitely getting to Kansas tomorrow.
