Curtie
had planned on getting through Missouri in three days, but he
had a flat and got rained on pretty bad. He said he's
not lonely, just a little bored in the evenings. Lunchtime
is the most fun of all: "Most entertaining has been lunch every
day, because I’m riding through farm towns. I stop at dives,
and every day I’ve gotten into a conversation with four
or more farmers about the weather and what I’m doing. I
met an 80-year-old pervert in Illinois, just after crossing the
Ohio River." Today is Ryan's first official (intentional)
rest day, spending it in Pittsburgh, Kansas, a small college
town. Next state border he'll cross is Colorado.
