End: Linton, IN
Distance today: 80.5
Total: 1010.3
It's still too damn hot. At 7pm, the official temperature was 90. Now take that, rewind a few hours to when we were riding, and add in the humidity and lack of shade...
We were aiming for a state campground, but passed a motel at 7:30 with 10 miles left to ride (directly Into the sun) and decided to not go crazy and stop at the motel instead.
Incidentally, everyone recommends riding west to east across the country because of the winds, but I have to say that so far the sun has been much worse. If I was riding east in the afternoon and didn't have to face the sun the whole time, I think I would have had a more enjoyable day...
Going out for a drink, and setting the alarm for 6:00 to get some riding in during the (hopefully) cool morning.
Ps... Passed the 1000 mile mark today! Woo!
