Elevation Gain: 1200 ft
Another day in Kansas and this was a tough 85 miles. It was very hot, high 90s, and 20 mph winds. They were mostly cross winds but blowing all day long. So I had a pretty tough day. But was ridingv with another woman and we got each other through it.
The countryside changed a bit today. It was gvreener with more trees. The land is so flat and the roads are so straight, you can see the huge grain elevators for a town 15 miles away. They look like castles when they are so far away. Then it seems to take forever to get to them.
Today we went past a huge windmill farm. After that there was a large field with the very large windmill parts lying out there ready to be assembled. The picture doesn't really do them justice. We also stopped in Midway which is halfway between San Francisco and New York. We have a few more days of riding before we are halfway. But it does make me think about how far we have come.
