After
two days cycling in the sun, the rain was back today. The day started
out dry but thick clouds were already hanging in the sky and after
about an hour into the trip the rain started. But at least the
temperatures were comfortable, so I didn't have a problem with
getting cold. Although there was rain today, the wind favored me
again and continued to come from the east.
Today
I didn't manage to get an early start into the day, because in the
morning after breakfast I realized that I have forgotten to charge
the GPS. So I had wait until the GPS was charged, before I could
start on my route to Wabash,IN. Even though I got a late start I
still managed to arrive by 3pm in Wabash, due to the tailwinds today.
The
route today, stayed on small roads, for a few miles even on unpaved
roads. So there was again only limited traffic, just a bit of local
traffic. The majority of the roads were in pretty good condition, so
the ride was quite comfortable throughout the day. The route today
was for the most part flat again and went through farmland, just as
it did the last two days. The scenery only changed for a while when I
reached the Salamonie River State Forest. Here the route went over
the Salamonie Dam and than through the forest. The road through the
forest was not as straight and not as flat as it was the rest of the
day, which was nice for a change. The rest of the route until I
reached Wabash, went again through farmland.
Since
I arrived early, I had some time to relax a bit, before I went out to
eat. Close to the motel I stayed at was a really good Mexican
restaurant, so I went there. It was nice to eat something different
from what I had eaten over the last few weeks.
Conclusion
for the day:
Best
to already check in the evening, if you got everything ready for the
next day.
