Day 28 of my journey riding,
Don and Kathy were great host!! Had coffee and muffins ready when I got up! We loaded up my bike and Don drove me over to Rt 66. Said my goodbye and Thanked him again and on my way. What a great day to ride! Was only planning on riding 42 miles hopi g for the warm shower host to call but they did not. Rode another 10 miles to Chandler Oklahoma to a campground.
Ran inot a couple from St Louis riding east. The wife just retired so the had someone drive them to Amarillo TX to start there ride back to St Louis.
Also stopped to help a guy from Spain fix his bike. The back rim was messed up and missing a few spokes and other one very loose. He was able to ride slow and get to the next town and someone was able to get him a rim! He ended up staying at the same campground I am at.
Bought him a beer and he went to do laundy!
I showered and sitting at the pavilion a group was having dinner and gave me some grilled chicken and corn on the cob with cake for desert.  A great way to end the night!
Then to top it off my daughter Jennifer called to say hi!!
Made my day!!!
Love and miss my family!
Good night
God Bless

Good Evening All, Today we leave Shell Island Fish Camp. Trisha and I spent 4 nights here and we had a great time! We biked each day not far but keeping our legs conditioned. This morning had our coffee and I had a muffin with peanut butter on it. Trisha had oatmeal she made but put to much water in it. Liquid oatmeal so she threw it away. We loaded up and headed out for Tallahassee. Today was only a 20 mile ride. Weather was great slight wind in our face but nothing to hold us back. We get into town and going up a hill so I was down shifting and my derailleur broke and twisted all up. Unloaded my fear from the back rack so I could take chain off so I could push my bike the last mile and a half. Lucky for me the ace I'm staying is a bike shop. They will fix my bike while I come home. They will have 12 days to get parts in and fixed. Should be no problem. Jerry Reynolds came to pick Trisha up and Trisha took us to lunch at Red Robin.  Had a great burger there. Came back to bike s
