Day 31: Kansas

Woke up today to find my phone charger and extra battery stolen. In the night I heard the thief and sprung out of my tent. As I did he ran away. Anyway I can buy a new one, nothing else was gone. It was a good ride this morning to Golden City. The sun was shining and a strong wind was blowing straight from the south, it made riding a straight line tough, but didn't slow me down. Things really flattened out 20 miles into the ride. 4 miles out of Golden City I had to turn north, and this was pure cycling bliss. I rode the wind in and didn't fall below 22 miles per hour. Lunch was great, then after noon the wind shifted slightly to the west. It was just enough to push me. All afternoon I fought to go above 10mph. Just when I hit the Kansas boarder I also crossed into the cold front, it rained a bit, but the winds calmed down. It's going to be cold and wet tonight, so I sprung for a hotel. Maybe tomorrow I'll just ride half a day.
