Leaving Dodge!

Lots of Trains in KS
Day 25, Kansas has turned out to be a great state to ride a bike in, My apprehension about crossing the plains was unfounded. We have had great weather, low winds and very blue sky’s . Today was a perfect day, a great day to put the peddle to the metal and make great time. There were some good photo opportunities; leaving Dodge City, playing in the wheat fields, standing at halfway point between San Francisco and New York City, (not our halfway point) that comes in a few days. Did some fast pace-line riding today, it helps to click off the miles. It forces each rider in the pace line to focus, communicate and participate in the groups progress. The treat for the day came as we rolled into Great Bend and stopped at Braum’s for lunch and ice cream. Braum’s is an Oklahoma company, so I felt at home putting down a chocolate chip shake. Four more days in KS then on to the "Show me State” of MO
