Not much happened today. I had to wait on a rear tire that I had ordered the day before. Amazingly, it was dropped off at 11am and I was on my to Ponca City Kawasaki to have it put on. While the tire was off, we discovered that one of the two ball bearings in the rear was busted and the other needed repacking. We packed the old bearing and, luckily, they had one bearing on hand. We also fixed my grinding clutch handle and cleaned and oiled the chain. I was out of the shop around 3pm and decided to make my way towards Alva, OK. Rode in a straight line for about 3 hours but it was very pretty and the heat cooled down significantly.
One of the roads even took me right under the wind turbines.
After that, there wasn’t much more to see other than some cattle and dust. The trail spat me out about 10 miles away from Alva, so I put my feet up and booked it.
I have a full day tomorrow and the goal is to get to Liberal, Kansas by the afternoon.
