Distance: 58 avg: 11.8 One of my favorite food personalities is Alton Brown. He has an engineer’s perspective on cooking which I admire. That isn’t to say that love isn’t a necessary ingredient in cooking. It’s just that most chef’s don’t talk enough about the difference between say chuck and round steak, or that if…

Today I don’t have much to say. Hung out in a coffee shop, worked on Mustaches. I got a hotel. Serenity was on the scifi channel and it’s still awesome. Shiny. 🙂

Distance: 57 avg: 13.1 This morning things started getting uncomfortable for me with Dan and Elaine. They have such intense ideologies, and kept pushing at me. What’s worse is that I slept horribly. I had told them I might stay another day. It turned out that they had planned a day for me. Dan wanted…

Distance:44 avg: 12 Today was a short day because I have a lot of time to kill between here and Wichita. So I did a quick easy 32 miles over to Ness City. I did some math on my map and determined that I should just call it a short day and headed to Elaine’s…

Distance: 72 avg: 11.8 Yesterday I had a grumpy old man cut in front of us in line. I didnt really care, we weren’t in a hurry. He made some surly grunts and then said, “I feel bad for you cyclists, since you can’t afford cars.” to which I replied,” that’s interesting, because I was…

Distance: 58 avg: 15.5 I’m officially in Kansas! Only four states to go! I’m taking it easy right now as I’m expecting to meet my lovely woman here in Wichita on the 16th. I’m resisting the urge to zoom through because the miles in Kansas are fast. I’ll play catchup later. But I’ve been relaxing…

Distance: 56 avg: 12.4 I bought a couple non-essential items today. I might as well strap a kitchen to my bike and be done with it. Earlier I was in a ‘restaurant’ with some fellow cyclists. One of them was eating a chicken fried piece of shit. They had pummelled it so thin that it…

Distance: 58 avg: 16.4 Yes that average is correct. Today I lucked out on some massive tailwind. I checked out of my hotel late, biked to Sugar City, and I still had an afternoon to kill. I entertained biking further but the math didn’t look appealing. I then remembered that this weekend there was no…

Today was another rest day, and I took good advantage to do very little. I wrote a bit more of Mustaches. My output is low because I keep reading more and more about the time periods and characters. Today I found out that Henry Rogers, a robber baron of Standard Oil, #31 richest American of…

I’ve been working on Mustaches, the Great American Novel. Nikola Tesla teleports to Mark Twain and they team up. I think Tesla’s dialogue is easier to write than twain’s. I’m warming up to it. I also drew a pic of Tesla with a steampunkish gun. Also attached is an attempt at an older twain.
