I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO GO 80 MILES.WHAT HAPPENED WAS THE NEXT EXIT WAS WAY FARTHER THEN WE EXPECTED.WE THOUGHT THAT I WAS GOING TO END UP AT ABOUT 67 OR 68 MILES FOR THE DAY.AT FIRST IT WAS VERY DISCOURAGING BECAUSE I WAS VERY TIRED AND COULD'NT WAIT TO CALL IT A DAY.BUT I DECIDED THAT I HAD TO AT LEAST MAKE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT SO I ATE MY LAST PROTIEN BAR AND KEPT RIDING AND EVENTUALLY MADE IT.BUT TO MY SURPRISE THAT BAR REALLY HELPED AND I LEARNED INAVERTANTLY THAT I HAVE A LOT MORE IN ME THAN EVEN I THOUGHT.SO NOW I KNOW I CAN PUMP OUT THOSE LAST GRUILING HOURS IF I HAVR TO OR JUST FOR FUN TO SEE WHAT I GOT.AT THE END OF THE DAY I LOADED MY BIKE AND FORGOT TO BUNGEE IT TO THE TRAILER.WHEN WE WENT TO DRIVE INTO THR DIRT TO SET UP CAMP THE BIKE FELL OFF AND THE BACK RIM BENT.IT HAD BEN A WEEK AND I HAD DONE A LOT OF MILES FOR IT SO WE DECIDED TO HAVE A DAY OF REST THE NEXT DAY AND GET THE BIKE FIXED.THAT NIGHT AT ABOUT 10oCLOCK A COP CAME TO OUR CAMP SITE CHECKED AROUND TOLD US IT WASNT LEGAL TO CAMP THERE BUT HE WOULD LET US AND TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE ALOT OF BACKPACKING ILLEAGALS COME THROUGH THERE.
I don't really feel like I have down time yet because I worry where he is and if he will get there but we always find each other. I cant wait till we get in a better rhythm. That night I grilled stake and warmed mashed potatoes. The bugs were outrageous but we made it. I fell asleep earlier then Joe and thats when the cop came to check on us and I never woke up :)
