I cooked oatmeal for breakfast then packed and said my thank you and goodbyes. Jonnie directed me back on my route. The weather didn’t show any rain, just cloudy in the morning and clearing for the afternoon. I wasn’t a mile from leaving and the rain came. Thirty minutes later the rain was over.
12:54 PM
I stop in the town of Straughn to get a bite to eat and get out of the sun for a bit. I am sitting in the back of a small church with a nice breeze. We’ve had headwinds all day. Funny how the perspective of wind changes when not riding into it.
The headwind continues all day.
The last eight miles into Greenfield is on the Pennsy Trail.
4:00 PM
I ride to the Budget Motel and get a room for the night. After I shower I walk to Hardies for a chicken BLT for dinner then I cross the street to get a pint of ice cream to bring back to the motel.
Now I plan to find a place to sleep tomorrow night.
