A well earned rest day and a chance to catch up on affairs. And two nights in the same bed – some simple things can mean a lot. Posting up yesterday’s photos was the first item on the menu and completed by mid-day. E-mails, laundry and shopping for essentials, all at a leisurely pace were completed in time. Completed the correction of summer maths tests and returned the grades to the Abbey for summer reports. Had another look at comments coming in on the blog. They really help and are appreciated.
The bike gets a wash-down and lubrication and all ready for tomorrow – the longest distance of all - 121 miles (almost 200 km). The next eight days will see us out of Colorado, through Kansas and onto the banks of the Missouri.Looking forward to it.

Richard--
Good luck with the next leg of the journey. Looks like your good weather fortune continues ... hopefully you'll make it through all of the 'square' states without a drop of rain on your head. Should be quite a sight to see the Mississippe River in its current state of flood!
Safe riding,
Bruce.
Wexford beat Laois in S.F.,Dublin in S.Hurling and drew with Dublin in M.Hurling andthereby provided a MODEL county experience. You, too, can reach your goal- getting nearer and nearer daily.Keep up the spirits.Molaimse thu.Michael.
Well, Wexford regained some ground today. We left Croker with a draw in the Minors, a win in the football and we beat the Dubs in the hurling replay! Ah the Purple & Gold....
And a very relaxing day in Croke Park - no danger of getting HOMMERED on the back by a Ballyhogue Biker!
Enjoy your rest day Dick, then it's, as usual, ON YER BIKE!
Another hard earned day off. I hope you are fully recovered to complete another couple of centuries and 2 more states.
It is amazing to think that you're 3 weeks in to it and almost half way across the country.
The blog is great and I particularly like your selection of photos. It is amazing to see the mountains, rivers, canyons, lakes, cities, railways and roads. It is also amazing to see the differences over the miles from state to state.
Keep the pace steady up and down the hills and the body hydrated, especially on the long hot days. Take care not to over do it and keep the crank shaft turning.
