I Slept In A Town Called Newton That Had Railroad Horns And  Railway Activity Noise All Night.  The Next Morning I Thought It Interesting That The High School Mascot Is The Railroaders

Day 25 Hot and Windy

Today was more difficult than an Ironman Competition. At one point during the day around 1:30 PM I decided to push on.  The map said no services for 58 miles. The wind was relentless and it was Hot. I made it to Larned Kansas around 7:30 PM.  I was tired. I camped in a city park.

Like surfing in the ocean the large trucks blowing by you in the oncoming lane create a large gust of wind like a giant wave at the ocean.  I started grabbing my lower handlebars and crouching to lessen the effect of the wind gust smashing into me like diving into the waves at the ocean.
