July 11 - Talkeetna to Palmer - 84 miles

Good day today on the bike, 3 totally different rides in one. I decided to bug out of camp before breakfast, since I knew there would be a place to pick something up to eat 14 miles down the road (We back-tracked the first 14 miles of the day to get to the main Parks road).

The second part of the day was a bit of a struggle, the headwinds came to play again, and my right knee started to hurt a bit, so I was a bit whiny. I had a bit of a 'moment' (which I'll explain in a subsequent post) and from that point forward I pressed on with a better attitude.

We're staying in a hotel tonight, so I get a change to do some laundry and update the blog. BTW, thanks to the NAPA Auto Parts store next door to the laundromat for not securing their wireless.
