Dave rode from the roadside park north of Bowie and is not too far from the Oklahoma border at the time of this post about 1pm. He is having more difficulty with his trailer and may have to ditch it or hitch a ride (if possible) to Duncan. Something broke with the attachment to his bike even though iut had be reinforced and he is having to stop very often to check it. He also broke a spoke which causes the tire to wobble. Oh, and I think there is still a little north wind. Does not sound too fun today. If he can get to Duncan today he will have Saturday to rest--because the ride starts Sunday. He can get the spoke fixed in Duncan and hopefully get someone to haul the trailer on Day 1 of the OK Freewheel ride. I will be there at the end of Day 1 and he will have his red bike (Ruby) to ride. All will be GREAT at that point because Ruby is very light and he won't have to haul ANY gear.
I will update this blog at the end of today when I hear from him
UPDATE: Dave made it to Duncan in late afternoon. A couple of his friends were already there so he will camp with them. There is a nice community center type facility next door with indoor swimming and showers to enjoy. Way to GO Dave!!! You made it.
