Guymon, OK to Woodward, OK 129 .7 miles
Given the magnitude of today's 130 mile ride to Woodward, OK, we were on are bikes early and witnessed a beautiful sunrise over the plains of Oklahoma. So far, that is the only thing of beauty that we have seen in this state. I now how have a different interpretation of what Sooners stands for... the sooner we get out of this state the better. The wind was already making its presence felt from the south, which gave me an unsettling feeling that I was in for a long and hard day. The first 20 miles or so continued to be flat terrain, but it then gradually turned to gentle rolling hills for the next 100 miles. When you are out in the middle of nowhere, you are looking for anything to entertain you. I have noticed that the cattle and horses will stop grazing and watch you very carefully pedal by. One horse actually started running parallel with us for about a half a mile. As you can see, desperation is setting in. Tomorrow it is on to Enid, OK, a mere 110 miles away.
