Some crazy headwinds out here

After the long day yesterday, we looked forward to our off day of 50 miles. Waking to a cross wind of 20 mph from the south, our off day turned into an uphill battle to Weatherford.

Hearing that there wasn't any food in Weatherford, we stopped short in Clinton to eat and worried about our path to the camp site. Off of 40, we went up wind for 7 miles and back east for 3, taking us over an hour because the road went uphill the entire way.

The site is really nice though. It was cleaned up by Southern Oklahoma University and has a rope course and rock climbing wall, plus power and showers which is always nice.

It was a longer ride than expected, but they always are, so now we relax by the lake and enjoy the headwind that rocked us all day. Tomorrow is Oklahoma City and a warmshower (not to mention real food and drinkable water!). If you haven't been watching the weather, Oklahoma has record highs of 98 and 103 degrees so we're running through water pretty fast but staying cool. The temperature will be pretty hot for a while but it's nothing like Florida heat, we're ready for it!

  3. Yea... Just too cold! We actually decided to pass up the Rockies when we camped on the coast of California and were too cold to move. I'll try it some other time on another tour but we needed to head south for some heat and sweet tea.
