Those of you reading this who are familiar with the Energiser Bunny will know that he has the attention span of a forgetful goldfish. He therefore required a bollocking when the email I received from him this morning contained no travel detail or anything remotely useful. I am pleased to say that when my famed managment trechniques had got home to him he followed up with:
Bish.
Here is the daily schedule so far.
Started riding on Friday morning, stopped that night in Springfield Illinois. Bit of a hard ride, as some thunder showers, but in general quite dry.
Saturday rode to Rolla Missouri
Sunday rode to Tulsa OKlahoma. On this leg, we hit an absolute beauty of a thunderstorn, and due to rather limited vision (approximately 10metres) we pulled in for 2 hours, and actually saw a car crash in front of where we had pulled over.
Monday rode to Weatherford Oklahoma
On this leg, we pulled onto a disused section of Route 66, and had a blast. I have attached a photo of me riding on this section. Closed to traffic, so no helmet, or protective clothing.
Tuesday rode to Amarillo Texas
In amarillo there is a restaurant with a competition to eat a 72oz steak. If you eat it, your meal is free, and apparently they fly you back for some kind of semi finals etc. I have attached a photo of the steak, beside a page of A4 for comparison. Needless two ofour group tried, and one actually managed to eat 52 oz, oh, forgot to mention thatit has to be eaten in 1 hour. These people are crazy.
Wednesday Santa Fe, new mexico
Beautiful spot, and will get some shots today.
So right now at mile 1480, and on a rest day. As you can see we are really knocking in the mileage
Yesterday rode through a town called Adrian, and stopped at a restaurant called the Midpoint cafe, photo attached.
About to go for breakfast, and will get more photos and text to you later today.
Bunny
Now that is much better. I have no doubt he will need further re-training along the trip. i am still trying to work out how to upload pics to the Blog.
