We are in Chanute, Kansas, whose slogan is "Live the Adventure". Somewhat like the one in El Dorado Kansas, hard to fathom. As for our ride today we lived some sort of adventure. We biked 98 miles today against a fierce 15-25 mph headwind (or sometimes a crosswind).
As you can imagine we're both happy to end the day here!
Yet we passed some beauty on our way here. One area was the Bluestem cattle region. It is considered the last true praise in the United States, with over 4.5 million acres, and is a major cattle producing region today. Kansas is filled with luscious landscapes (and apparently a few hills). It was entertaining to reach a few rolling hills - ones that allowed us to coast around 20 mph at different moments.
We also ran into a few other cyclists on Transamerica cycling trail, a group of men who were all over 60 heading west. Although its a small thing to say hi to other cyclists passing by, it truly is a huge motivational boost!
