july 6--fort larned


Rode 99 miles today, total 1836. Plesant weather! Met a couple mid-50s enjoying riding with each other across country, an assortment of young riders going to different destinations, and, most impressive (I've been hearing about him on the trail) a young man named jedediah who works with troubled teens in an outdoors program in NY and who is HIKING the transam trail--he's going to meet his sister in sisters, or, and she is hiking the pacific crest trail.
I'm sitting in the waiting room of the larned, ks, hospital while my friend mike is being examined--i think he's suffering from a severe case of that affliction that strikes cyclists, butt or crotch soreness. I'll know in a few minutes. I've been very caring of my body in that region, applying generous amounts of baby rash (zinc oxide) cream. Otherwise, I've had to cope only with sunburn so far.

  1. Joyce wants me to tell you to take care NOT to get sunburned. We are both glad you are caring for yourself as you travel this part of the glove.
