Day 47 McCook NE to Enders NE
The force was with me today- the wind that is! I had a great ride with either a tailwind or a quartering tailwind most of the way. This was especially helpful in the last 20 miles when the wind picked up significantly.
Leaving McCook, I pedaled through neighborhoods just north of downtown. There seemed to be a competition between two neighbors for most whimsical.

As I was leaving town (on a dirt/sand road), the train was arriving.
After crossing the railroad tracks, I got back on US 6. Lots of farms, cows, corn, soybeans, and wheat.

Aftet Culbertson, the skies before me were overcast but behind me was a different story.
Before Palisade, there was road construction where there was a seven mile stretch of one lane traffic. The speed limit was 65. Let’s just say I pedaled my ass off and got through it alive.

I stopped at a convenience store in Palisade for cold ice tea and ate my lunch. I also found a present for Peter.

I passed into mountain time today. I hope to get a good night’s sleep tonight! The country is starting to look more like arid grasslands. Lots of wind. Tomorrow could be a hard day.
Today's ride: 54 miles (87 km)
Total: 1,825 miles (2,937 km)
