Easy "Peasy" translation .....a perfect day to ride!

All the stars aligned today to make it a perfect day to ride. We started in Guymon, Oklahoma and ended up in Liberal Kansas. We began the day with breakfast at a local restaurant that was delicious. A treat for us since we normally eat continental breakfast at our hotel.

Our ride of 39.25 miles was on fantastic shoulders with the wind at our backs and a sunny day, no threat of a storm to be seen any where. I rate the shoulders a 10, they were wide, smooth and almost debris free.

We rode through the town of Hooker where some of us stopped to purchase a T-Shirt at the local Chamber of Commerce. They are doing a great business! The next stop was to take a picture of the Kansas state sign as we crossed over from Oklahoma into Kansas. It's amazing to think that we've crossed three state lines in three days.
As I mentioned the ride was 39.25 which I finished in 1 hour 30 minutes at an average speed of 17.8 mph. A day for cruising. It was a treat to have such a short day of riding, but tomorrow we're back to the longer rides.
The snake report adds four more smooched snakes and another turtle contemplating crossing the road. Run turtle, run!!!

  1. I so wanted to pick up that turtle and place her back in the grass. Hey, all my friends are Hookers!
