The last few days have been full of ups and downs.... It's great to be biking. I love cruising along the road and enjoying the scenery; even better when I get a honk or people stop to talk. People connect with what I'm doing and I can see their excitement.
But, it has been rough. It's been raining hard the last 5 days.... I keep getting soaked all day and then lightning all night.
Today was the worst of it. Right as I was packing my gear this morning, it dumped, soaking everything. This afternoon was another downpour. I was so cold and wet that I could barely keep my legs moving.
I finally found a place to stop for the night and was getting everything ready to camp, hoping things would dry, when a friendly neighbor drove up. He jumped out of his truck and gave me a hot meal. I couldn't thank him enough. It's amazing what simplest of gestures can do!!
If you have the opportunity, return the favor to Doug at Gearheads in Moab, Utah. Thank you for ending my day on a wonderfully positive note!
