The Daily Grind

Ordway, CO to Pueblo, CO Total Miles: 3785 Gillian (pronounced with the ‘J’ sound) is one of those rare people that can along with everybody; she’s quick with a joke, incredibly intelligent and has a way of making you feel like part of her family from the moment you meet her. When she arrived home […]

Sheridan Lake, CO to Ordway, CO Total Miles: 3730 The church we stayed in last night was an excellent choice, full kitchen and nice bathrooms with plenty of floor space for us to crash for the night. There were no showers but there was a convenient hose out back where we could rinse off the […]

Scott City, KS to Sheridan Lake, CO Total Miles: 3640 We got a pleasant little surprise yesterday afternoon after we got our camp set up in the park. The local pastor, Kyle, came by and told one of the guys that we could go and set ourselves up for the night in one of the […]

Ness City, KS to Scott City, KS Total Miles: 3560 It’s gonna be a short entry today because, surprise, Kansas is boring. Let’s begin. After yesterday afternoons insanity burgers we were all, of course, hungry again by 7 so we headed back to the same spot to get grab some beers and dinner. I decided […]

Larned, KS to Ness City, KS Total Miles: 3506 Yesterday around 5 while I was laying in the grass reading and another westbound cyclist showed up to the park we were staying at. His name is Robert, he’s from Holland and he’s doing a route somewhat similar to my own. He cycled from New York […]

Nickerson, KS to Larned, KS Total Miles: 3438 What a day, what a day. I woke up at 5:00 which, as long as I’m sticking with these guys, will be the new normal. To be honest, I really like it. If I’m by myself and I wake up and still feel tired, which is like […]

Newton, KS to Nickerson, KS Total Miles: 3376 Last night I decided to forgo setting up my tent in favor of sleeping on top of a picnic table under the stars. The nice thing about Kansas is I have yet to see a single mosquito since riding across the state line. Before heading to bed […]

Eureka, KS to Newton, KS Total Miles: 3324 Let’s call a peach a peach. Last night’s blog post was kind of a mess, I didn’t get into town until about 5, I was tired and I was being entertained by our lovely host for the evening, Robyn, until pretty late. It is what it is. […]

Middle of Nowhere, KS to Eureka, KS Total Miles: 3246 So let us begin again with a bit about last night. A few hours after I got settled into the church another cyclist showed up. His name is Donald, he’s in his early 60’s and was carrying a load bigger than mine! He had both […]

Golden City, MO to Middle of Nowhere, KS Total Miles: 3154 I woke up this morning at 6:00 with the intention of getting an early start to try and put some miles in before the forecasted winds began to pick up. Elijah must have had the same idea as me because he was up and […]
