US Route 66 and a bit…<\/a><\/h2>\n

By Bob Gulliver | www.crazyguyonabike.com<\/h3>\n

Day 27: Groom to Amarillo\nThursday October 10, 2019\nIf our tent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s waterproof rating was being tested by the sprinkler system last night, its ability to stand up to strong wind was tested this morning.

Day 28: Amarillo to Midpoint\nFriday October 11, 2019\nApart from the occasional rattle on the garage door by the wind and hoot from Ivor, the night passed peacefully. As Adam had set breakfast at 7am our alarm clock was set at 6:45am, which was about 5 hours earlier than our bodies would have liked.\nEven inside the garage inside the tent the air outside of the sleeping bag felt very cold. The forecast was for overnight temperatures to have dropped to -4oC or less, so pulling down the sleeping bag zip seemed the most illogical thing to do. …<\/p>\n

Day 29: Midpoint to Tucumcari\nSaturday October 12, 2019\nFor sleeping in a tent on the spikey ground a few metres away from a busy interstate, even Deborah admits that it was one of our better night\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sleep.<\/p>\n

As we should not have been camping at the picnic area without permission, with a hefty fine if we got caught, we had set the alarm to go off at 5:45am. When the alarm did go off it was quickly changed to 6:45am. At 6:45am if was turned off altogether and we eventually started to mobilize at our usual time of 7:15am. …<\/p>\n
