Counting the days!

Kansas is a big State. I have been riding in Kansas now for seven days and I have three more to go.

They cannot come fast enough!

I have been looking at grasslands, farms, silo’s and barns without much else to see. I won’t be showing a lot of new pictures for two reasons.

1. You have seen it all the last few days.
2. The wind is blowing so darn hard, it is a real chore to get off and on the bike.

Every time a truck passes, I fight to stay on the road. As a matter of fact I got blown off the road twice today!

I decided I do prefer riding West because at least the wind is blowing me off the road instead of into traffic as it would be if I was riding the other way!

I don’t expect any real changes until I get to Pueblo on July 4.

I will just get on the bike and grind away as long as I need to.

I rode about 10 mikes of dirt this morning
Adventure Cycling recommended this new route because the original route has been rumble stripped forcing bicycles out onto the busy highway.

Keep going
Bob, Wish I had known you were riding in Colorado. I would have come out to say hello. Best of luck for a safe finish.

Hi Ron
It is nice to hear from you. I am in Dillion right now heading for Sulphur Springs or Granby tomorrow . This altitude was hard at first but hopefully will be easier now that I am acclimated. Best regards, Bob
