Looking forward to today as Sunday is always quiet on traffic. I needn't have worried, once I was clear of the Oklahoma City I followed a pre-1933 alignment of Route 66 through farmland, barely saw a car/truck/pick-up all afternoon.
Bumped into another British biker, Anthony; he was heading the other way and was cycling coast to coast from LA to NY, it was quite surreal bumping into him considering I've bearly seen another cyclist for over a thousand miles. Anthony had a very flashy carbon Trek racing he'd picked up in California and was travelling very light. he'd been averaging 120 miles a day. I can't top that, good luck to him!
The old 66 path took me back onto the paries and though a massive wind farm between there must have been about 40 turbines placed either side of 66 and Interstate 44. I'd never seenone before and was quite impressed. One of the locals told me that the farmer who owns the land gets a thousand dollars per acre anually. Must beat what he gets for corn from Walmart (Asda's).
