Woke up to a hearty breakfast made by Jan at the Mt. Sunflower Bed and Breakfast which consisted of stuffed french toast with strawberry toppings, bacon, and sausage. After are stomachs were filled and our bags were packed we got on the road at around 7:30 and then soon changed into Central Time Zone...so we lost an hour. Went to Tribune where we chilled out in front of the local library and filled up our water before heading to Scott City to eat lunch. For lunch we dug into Jan's cinnamon rolls and cookies and put lots of icing on them. We had a long lunch which really pushed back our arrival time. We just never seem to leave on time. Steve kept getting flats in his front tire so we did a lot of patch work on that. During the later afternoon we ran into some headwinds which slowed us down and felt like we could not get anywhere especially when you can not see the end of the long straight road in front of you. We finally got to Ness City around 8:30 and the first house we asked at just so happened to be Scott, the mayor's house, and he graciously allowed us to set up camp in his yard. We dropped off our trailers and went to get dinner at a burger and ice cream joint where we ate with some insurance claim guys from Nebraska who were checking out roofs that were damaged from softball size hail that had hit the town on Monday. We then went back to Scott's home and set up camp. Scott showed Lyle his music collection and we found out he was a drummer in a band. Scott was a great host and really made us feel welcome in Ness City. After a long day of biking we all fell asleep pretty quick.
135 miles, long day
