 my face feels extra puffy today I don't know why maybe it's because I was so damn tired last night and it's pretty early the sun is up it's gonna be another hot one way around 100 who wants to go ride bikes me I'm wearing my fancy riding shirt today you'll notice it has somewhat of a collar and a pocket very useful okay off you go so apparently I need to be putting more sunscreen on my feet oh dear Lord almost time to go ride my bike again today all right says it's gonna be 98 degrees today in Gothenburg I don't care if it's a thousand degrees I just don't want headwinds somebody please turn the wind machine off screw our bikes oh boy you know what's tender right now besides my heart my ass man yesterday did a number on my booty son is up I don't feel any wind so far ladies and gentlemen it's another beautiful day to be on planet earth no flatties no crashies no whammies no headwindies most importantly that sucker is going fast look at that see this bird behind me it's been following me for like a mile just chirping protecting me mornings are my favorite part of bike touring everything is just still quiet the sun is low on the horizon the temperatures are cool and crisp the birds are always chirping giant semis are flying high it's peaceful this tiny town called Cozad and a woman on Instagram wrote me last night said hey I work in Cozad I'll come out and say hi to you hi there nice to meet you it's crazy to think that I have viewers in such small towns my sweet mama just sent me a text check it out it says excessive heat index in your area today and tomorrow drink lots of water and keep your neck gaiter wet to cool you oh and be safe and have fun love you mama taking good care of me even when I'm far away I'll take this moment to talk about my mom a little bit I know that my adventures stress her out she of course she's a mom she gets very nervous she's scared that something could happen to me but she tries her best to support me and it means a lot so even though mom I'm sorry you have full white hair gray hair because of maybe my adventures I don't know why but thank you for the love and support it means the world to me you see that thing flap flap flap it away that's not necessarily good it's a bit of a crosswind today so it's not as bad as yesterday but man come on win give me a break and these birds again they love hey buddy these birds love following me maybe it's cuz I kind of go their speed maybe they're my guardian angel birds check it out I love this why are you following me I quite enjoy it I've never experienced that on a bike tour before and if I have I just haven't noticed it I was riding by and I had to come see this look at this Odessa auto sales looks like they only have a used tractor left come and get it I had to get some ice cream right I mean it was right there and so easy today feels good today feels a lot better than yesterday I was trying to get through this town in a timely matter but then this happens beans that digital sign right there says it's 97 degrees it's not even close to a hundred it feels like springtime out here time since I've oh laid on is now on the right side of me so I'm putting sunscreen all over the right side of my face love Casey's because they have beer and ice cream but they also have a beer cave and it's a gigantic walk-in cooler and it is so amazing oh my god it's it's like being in the North Pole oh I wonder how long it takes until they kick me out of here oh this feels so incredible my nipples are getting a little hard a few moments later damn it is hot out here oh it's crazy hot like this feels like a big thick blanket just wrapped me up right when I walked outside thank you Casey's I don't know what happened to my sweet little Lincoln byway highway 30 but it got really busy there are big trucks left and right like that one right there I need to find a smaller road this was just not gonna work it hit 100 it is impressively hot I have to say I felt a hundred plenty of times usually in Colorado where it's a dry heat but this humid heat holy hell it is oppressive smooth black pavement it really does make a big difference your tires just roll so much smoother and I also love tailwinds and gigantic semi trucks there's my bird you can see a shadow I swat her hi there can I get a medium Oreo blizzard oh this is a tough city to navigate there's 50,000 people that live here and I don't quite know where I'm gonna stay tonight cuz big towns are really hard to camp in like in the town like town parks usually don't let you do that so I'm gonna have to get creative reduce I don't know I don't do this blizzard's gonna bring me the answers I'm confident of that so I've decided that I'm gonna keep on going I'm gonna pass right on through Grand Island the Google route has been going north all the way to Council Bluffs for the rest of the route and today Highway 30 just turned into a cluster so much traffic so I'm hoping this other alternative route has less traffic there's only one way to find out here's the tall corn check it out a free campground oh my god I don't know if I've ever sweat this much in my entire life my body my shirt this is not from soaking it with water that a straight sweat the Sun was beating down on me so hard those last 20 miles I'm glad I pushed it felt good I felt like you know when Michael Jordan talks about being in the zone that's how I felt I was just boom powering down here in the highway was so much better than Highway 30 not much traffic beautiful light the cornfields you could see him going on forever and ever oh man felt really really good I probably filled up my water bottles all four of them three times and bought other drinks along the day oh man it's been a long time since I've been this exhausted but I feel feel really good about it it's not like headwind exhausted it's like yes I went fast and I went forward and it felt good it is oppressively hot that's still like 90 something it's 10 p.m. there's no wind and I'm just sitting in my tent dripping I'd rather be on my bike actually I should have just ridden all through the night it's like 10 o'clock and this young man comes by he goes are you Ryan dozer and I was like what who are you my name is Carson I'm from Aurora I just saw Ryan's Instagram post about him I saw the road he was on and I knew that this was the town that I live in I'm like oh I better go down to the park and see if he's camping here and sure enough here yes what did you tell your parents I said I looked at the watch I'm like I'll be right back I think I know a bike rider who's in town and they were my mom was freaked out she's like what if he's a serial killer and my dad's like if he's a serial killer why would he be putting on Instagram wherever he's going so and I'm a vegetarian so I doubt I'm gonna kill humans if I don't even kill animals yeah awesome so tell you said you like bikes why do you watch my channel um I
