Another late start for me today, when we arrived at the start area it was a ghost town and most everyone had left. So I tried to speed myself up and get out of their quick, well as quick as you can on the seventh day of a cross-state bike tour. The first 25 miles of today's ride was more of an adventure than a ride...heavy rains, strong winds, changed bike route, flooded creeks that caused a dismount and walk across with socks and shoes removed, cows crossing the road in front of me, only seeing 5 riders in those 25 miles and the list goes on. When the sun came out the day proved to be very nice, of course all the rain that OK has gotten I could have used an ark instead of a bike but that is another story.
Tonight we are staying in Bartlesville which is about 5 miles from Dewey at the Inn at Price Tower. It is an amazing hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Slow day today due to the rain and roads and hills (can't forget the hills). 52 miles at 16.3 mph.
