Updates from days 1-10

Sorry for not keeping up on here as good as some of you would like.

Day 1 recap: family and friends watched me dunk my rear tire in the pacific. -missed the ferry, then barely caught the second one.-new bag broke. - got lost. Oops. -Did 100 miles. -currently listening to Drake."refuse to be forgotten"
Lesson learned today: duct tape saves all.

Day 2 update: woke up and had brunch at black bear diner. -got on the bike around 12. - rode 65 miles. -got home to a home cooked meal, but I'm not hungry. - my boo came over to rub my back =). Currently waiting on quick to come over and hangout.

Day 3: rest in pville

Day 4: rode from 1,000ft to 8,300 ft. Had a plan to eat lunch at this diner but they were closed, a family stopped and hooked it up with sandwiches, chips, and yogurt. Got to the hotel and found out that all the diners up here are closed. A cop hooked it up with cliff bars. I love life. It's a struggle, but you just gotta dig deep. If you want something go get it. I'm here! And I'm alive.66miles-1030pm

Day 5: Woke up and finally got some real food in me! I met a guy who is also riding across the US so him and I met up in Carson city. While on my way to Carson city I got a killer nail in my tire. How did I fix it? You guessed it! Duct tape! Once I got to Carson city we went for some Thai food. I saw some real beauty today. Mental images and real images were taken! 60 miles

Day 6: today was different. The landscape is changing and so is my mind set. I have been thinking a lot, and I can't imagine where my mind will take me next. On a side note a big ride got so close that it slammed me into a guard rail, not gunna lie I felt so alive after that.
Best thought of the day:Cancer sucks! 62 miles

Day 7: Nevada is really strange! The hot water is on the right hand and the cold is on the left. I got some really cool photos of this strange yet beautiful land. My bag also ripped! I tell you these bags have been really crappy. 63miles don

Day 8 recap: I can feel my legs, body, and mind getting stronger each day. Today I was alone on highway 50 for hours. The sun was beating down on me, but I tried a new way of fueling myself and I think it worked pretty well.At the end of the day I met a family who offered me beer and company, how could I say no. 57 miles-never give up!

Day 9: got stuck in a lighting storm! Good nite 65miles

Day 10: day of rest in a town with no cell service. Luckily I was able to find a computer to put an update. Zero miles enjoy your day! Have a great whatever day it is today..tuesday?
