Day 23 (Sheridan Lake, CO to Dighton, KS)

(99.9mi,13.5mph,2321ft)
Got started around 6:45 and biked 30 miles to Tribune, KS for some breakfast. We had a light headwind all day, but it wasn't bad. There were times when the wind stopped completely for a few minutes and we tried to take advantage of those stretches. 20 miles later we stopped in Leoti to make plans with our parents about meeting up tomorrow in Larned. Then it was a quick 25 miles to Scott City for a short grocery store stop, then 25 more miles to Dighton for the night. We grabbed half a watermelon and headed to the city park to camp. We were looking forward to tailwinds on this part of the route, but today wasn't as tough as yesterday. Tomorrow we're supposed to have 20 to 30mph winds from the south which could make it a slower day. Hopefully we can make it 100 miles to Larned in time to meet our parents!
