Route for next few days

Things are getting quite isolated out here, it's about 150 miles between bike shops from what i can see. The landscape is getting less and less populated, pretty much all the side roads i saw today were unsurfaced.

Rough route from here is weatherford, woodward, beaver, liberal (kansas), which seems to have a bike shop, then johnson city or ulysses (kansas), then across colorado somehow. Will cross the Canadian River in a couple days. I'm about 650 miles or so from Denver, although there is a rumour that bertie wants to meet in boulder, which is northwest of denver, so i may skirt denver and go via colorado springs instead as i hate riding in big cities.

land is also getting drier and drier, can see that it will turn into desert west of here, it's still beautiful though

bike is going no problems, hope it stays that way

heat was in the high 80's today, no wonder i was struggling a bit, it kinda sneaks up on you cos you're out in it all day, but when i left my room just now, man it was hot

for Springs, its a cool place and takes you past the underground US military base. Boulder is my home town, you will like it there. Also the home of Mork and Mindy...
