I did laundry in the morning and ate breakfast in a common room with some of the neighbors. I played piano and helped a 16 year old girl with her math homework.
I said goodbye to Diane and left Paso Robles. Soon I was in a new climate. It was dry grassland with rolling hills. I had a steady headwind and I was only able to go 4 mph.
I had a nosebleed due to the change in humidity.
My trailer tire went flat and then my back tire went flat (my 10th flat).
It got dark and I hadn’t made much progress. I felt unenthusiastic about riding further so I found a place to camp in a field near the highway.
During the night I woke up multiple times and I was cold. By morning I had put on all my clothes and I was still cold.
