I think there was a dirt road leading off to somewhere or other.
10 months agoYeah, I was fortunate those people helped me.
I have to say, that section of US-6 was tough. Like literally twice as hard as that 84 mile day between Milford and Baker on the Western Express. That was my previous benchmark for hard paved road touring.
Hey George. I did the ride when I did the Western Express east to west in 2013.
Today I did it in the opposite direction, although I went all the way to the border, not Baker.
The ride seemed easier today than in 2013, for some reason. Maybe the climbing is easier west to east?
Thanks, Babs. I'm actually slightly obsessed with the lemon lime Gatorade now. I don't think I'd ever had that flavor before, somehow!
10 months agoGreat stories Jeff! You are guided by angels. That’s amazing! Now I’m thirsty for a lemon lime Gatorade!! You are doing great!!

10 months agoWhat did I say? About people stopping to offer you all kinds of goodies along the 170 empty miles of US 6. Sounds like you had quite a few great encounters.
10 months agoMaybe you should've pedaled up that embankment a foot or so. :-)
10 months agoWas there actually a building anywhere near this? Or for a few miles down a side road? It looks so barren.
10 months agoWow, a badger!
10 months agoBad, bad badger! :-)
10 months agoLooks like a badger - and they are aggressive little guys.
10 months agoI just noticed he's wearing an Iowa Hawkeyes baseball cap.
