Day 7,Tulsa, Ok to Clinton, Ok

Happy Birthday Mick - oopps not really. We started today under the premise that it was Micks birthday, so the day was all about Mick. It wasn't untill about lunchtime that we realised that really his birthday is tommorrow, though technically 9:00 am here is 00:00 14th June at home. So please every one that has sent text messages, please re send tommorrow or Mick will be very upset!

We hit the road early (8:00 am) and had a great ride on the old route 66, then hoppped on the Freeway to by pass Oklahoma City. As we have been getting caught up in the big cities trying to get through on the original route. Our plan worked well.

Then omg the wind started, it was about 40 celcius riding, with 40 to 80 Klm / hr gusts hitting us on the left side, we rode like this for 120 + miles. It was really difficult, and at some times a bit scary.

On the Prarie - check the flags, it's howling

Our Lunch stop

Mr Cool (its my birthday at home!)

Its my Birthday - thats not a cake!

So we ended up doing about 210 miles today, so were happy with that, given conditions.

Ended up finding another Wal Mart to return Daves dud camera, so now weve got two.

Tommorrow the plan is to get to Amarillo Texas, and get a 72oz steak ito us, if we eat it its free (plus fries etc),  Dave thinks his mate  Larry might have been here allready. We are pretty sure the conditions are going to be the same as today, so it is sure to be full of challenges. (again it will be Mick's birthday)

Love to all. Dave & Mick
