Well this week has been filled with ridiculous heat and too long of days.. yesterday was a toughy the heat was insane-o, but we made it once again. Today Denise and I had a much better day. We got off to an early start.. well not quite as early as some.. but an almost sane hour anyways. We pretty well booked the entire ride, made only the necessary water fill-up stops at the sags and made it in to Minden, Nebraska by 2 pm right before the gear truck. Never thought I'd say I am in Nebraska.. Nebraska is full of nothingness and apparently has a serious infestation of grasshoppers. It is yucky. And, having made it so speedily in to camp, we also beat our fellow competitor, Matthew Zantingh. He claims this tour "is not a race", however, we know better than that, don't we Matt? Don't beat yourself up over it though, it's not like we're actually that much faster than you. : ) Well that adds up to another successful day for the Bentums.
We are half way! Can't believe it! We are being eaten alive by mosquitoes right now so signing off for the night!
