Such a great story. Glad you got their picture. Little stories like this are so inspirational!

At least navigation is easy.

Kansas is nearly flat, probably did 1,000 feet of elevation across 60 miles
Weather has been in the high 70s, great for biking. I have been drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated

Your elevation chart shows huge hills. In Kansas?

Also, it shows 100F. Is it brutally hot? Be careful. As I’m sure you know, heatstroke can kill. Sneak right up on you.

Stay cool, Mr. Henderson.

I resemble that remark!

Ruby will keep you safe from the wicked witch!
Keep your eyes out for the Yellow Brick Road!

Enjoy your recovery day! Looks like your ride is going well.

Kudos to you for sticking with the Katy all the way to Clinton- that's several more days that I could stand it.

Was that train you saw as a kid a steam locomotive? Did they even have diesel engines yet?

Looks tornado and lightning proof. Hope the tennis ball-sized hail bounces off.

🤣 Did the gun interfere with your workout?

Good thinking.
