8 days and counting or the Barton County Tour

Rhi and I went on a 50 mile ride.  Ellinwood to Great Bend to Hoisington to Claflin and back to Ellinwood.  It was actually a good ride.  We got coffee first thing. Yum!  Now, I had made a mistake the night before and adjusted my seat again...bad decision.  So at the coffee shop, I asked if they had a hammer.  A hammer you may wonder.  Well, my seat tilt gets stuck, like crazy.  Even when there isn't a screw keeping it all together, it's stuck on there.  So you need a hammer to loosen it to adjust it.  The coffee shop did not have a hammer.  So we checked at the Kwik Shop, they did have a hammer.  Ah Relief.  Now I'm going to sidetrack here because I'm weird.  Neither place asked why I needed a hammer.  Maybe this is a more common occurrence than I realized but if I were in their place I would wonder what the hammer was for...  Anyway, we had very little wind and averaged about 14 mph.  Not bad in my opinion.  And one of these years I will learn that sunscreen is necessary even before noon.  I'm not burnt, but pink in some spots.  I have no one to blame but myself.
