In one way a definition of an adventure because for sure this is what a trip like this is, a 4,200 mile cycle ride, in all weathers and with the very minimum of organisation of each day other than, we stay here and we stop there.
We aim to be in DC on July 3rd and that is something we intend to do come hell or high water.
One area that is always something we concern ourselves with is the weather. Yes I know we love to talk about it but, and this aimed at my English viewer, the weather here is like the UK but on steroids.
Take the last couple of days, balmy turned to hot, really quite hot, about 90 degrees in old money. Then a storm. This storm was so sudden and so ferocious that the RV had to pull over and wait for the wind do die a little, the hail to stop and the rain to cease lashing down. Not easy to show on a still shot but here goes.
The winds continued for three days and have just abated today. Yesterday the storms continued and last night we didn't sleep through a massive electrical storm that never seemed to end.
Then in just a few miles the sun comes back and away we go again. (Time for the fisheye as well!)
The towns getting bigger, still not huge but still welcoming and still great to photograph.
The miles now covered is 2,000. Nearly half way, the official mileage is 4,200 miles. Two nights ago we were in Norfolk and tomorrow we aim to be in Lincoln. To the UK readers names that are very familiar and one can only assume the towns were founded by settlers from those two UK cities that share the name.
Have a good 'un.....B
