Beebe, Arkansas

60 miles today. We actually had a tail wind for 40 or so miles which was nice for a change. No flats on the bike today and it worked beautifully. On the flip side we got our first flat on the trailer today. We had 2 groups of people stop and offer to assist us while changing the flat. One women who stopped was intrigued with the idea of riding across country. She was sitting in her office and saw us ride by and came outside of her business to watch us pass when she saw us pull over and get off the bike. She thought that perhaps someone was ill or hurt as it was already 90 plus degrees and she jumped in her car and drove out to assist. Another couple stopped with their pickup and identified themselves as bikers and offered their work shop and/or tools/parts if we needed anything. The first women who stopped offered her home to stay in if we needed a place. The generosity of people we have met never ceases to amaze me. Once again a great day on the bike with my best friend.
