75 mi today, larned to hutchinson ks, total 1910 mi. Went off route because I wanted to see hutchinson, which sits on a huge salt deposit and has the largest salt mines in the world...I also rode thru the quiviria wildlife preserve today, beautiful, and it too sits atop salt beds making it a major nesting spot fpr migrating gulf birds.
I'm staying the night in an old lutheran church that has converted its basement into a hostel for cyclists...I'll have the place to myself tonight.
Left mike in larned...the doctor prescribed vitamins a, c, and d and aselenium and a new saddle. He' spending rest days in larned so his bum can recuperate.
This morning ran into a father and four of his nine kids cycling to oregon...none of the kids looked like they were enjoying it.
The weather the last four days has been unseasonably cool and that has been marvelous.
You and Colton Harris-Moore have been roughly parallel to one another from the time you left, except that he just skipped from Indiana to the Bahamas. I'd like to see you do that!
