Day 35 - Turn the Page
I rode 68 miles today from Eureka to a county park about 8 miles outside Newton. The entire way there was not a single hotel, restaurant, convenience store or grocery store. I knew this ahead of time so packed extra food and water

I leave you with this, a nod to Bob Seeger
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Wichita
You can listen to the drive train, moanin' out its one note song
You can think about the woman, waiting for you at home
But your thoughts will soon be wanderin' the way they always do
When you're ridin' endless hours and there's nothin' there to do
And you really feel like ridin', relief from your ass ache is really overdue
Oh, here I am
On the road again
There I am
In the saddle, yeah
Here I go
Playin' biker again
There I go
Turn the page
Out there on the bike seat you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you have to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the miles that you make
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the big rigs ringin' in your head
You drank the day's last water, rememberin' your not dead
Oh, here I am
On the road again
There I am
In the saddle, yeah
Here I go
Playin' biker again
There I go
Turn the page
Today's ride: 68 miles (109 km)
Total: 1,710 miles (2,752 km)
