Today is the first day of the second half of our trip. Kind of sad. To celebrate we turned today's ride into a scavenger hunt/contest to do the most awesome and weird things and take pictures along the way. My group was Ellen, James, and Beau. We rocked it. Some of my favorites are Ellen proposing to the Pepsi truck driver, Ellen and James trading uniforms with KDOT men on the side of the road, Sonya eating 5 PB&J sandwiches in 2 minutes and 11 seconds... among others. It was a pretty fun day.
Kansas is an awesome state. Not as flat everywhere as I thought it would be, but mostly gentle rolling hills, which are great for riding. The sky is huge here, and you can see storms coming from miles away. The morning was a little hilly, but it flattened out more after lunch. James and I cranked the last 14 miles, probably averaging 26 mph? He coached me on how to pedal more efficiently. My legs are shot now. Tomorrow we will get into Colorado! Exciting.

I think my foot is fine again. I'm not going to be able to run with you when you get back b/c you'll be too slow. Have your quads exploded into scary crazy new muscle yet?
