I woke up and ate a peanut butter and Pop-Tart sandwich for breakfast. In the morning I had one long climb but after that it was mostly downhill or flat.
There was road construction on the road and one freshly-paved lane was closed to vehicle traffic. I rode in the closed lane.
I ate a raw bell pepper for lunch. The road went between many fields with various crops. The road was straight and flat. I was able to mess with my phone and iTouch while riding. This was a change from the hilly, twisting road on the coast.
I stopped at K-Mart in Wasco and had pizza for lunch. I also bought a slingshot so I could try shooting stuff while riding the bike.
I contacted the Kappa Sigma Fraternity in Bakersfield and they said I could stay with them. As I rode I practiced shooting my slingshot but it was hard to ride with no hands because my handlebars would wobble.
The road was flat all the way to Bakersfield. I met the fraternity guys at Applebee’s at 9pm. One member, Kenny, said I could stay with him in his apartment. I hung out with the frat guys and then I went to sleep on Kenny’s living room floor.
