July 16
Today we biked 102 miles on our way west. The morning was cool and cloudy and the first 50 miles were lovely. We started just before sunrise. Sadly, the afternoon got sunny and hot and the last 35 miles or so were in 95° and muggy.
On the positive side, my bike is fixed, which made life much easier. The heat dome in the west is evidently moving east and so the next few days I hope will be much more temperate. We encountered some cows on the road. As we rode toward them, they stayed on the road and galloped away. We probably followed them galloping for about a half a mile before they got tired and gave up.
