We are welcomed everywhere. This is a common sight along the TransAmerican bicycle route. Nearly all the locals love to see and talk to us, sharing many stories of other cyclists.
A very typical town in Kansas and eastern Colorado. A very flat city that is centered around a giant grain elevator.
The Rocky Mountains are in sight! We have both been anxious to get to the west and it has finally come!
Two very happy guys to be at the Colorado boarder. We pushed hard through Kansas and made it across in only 4.5 days! There were plenty of 100+ mile rides thanks to the help of the winds!
We got caught in a very bad storm and nearly lost our tents! The sky's were wicked, but all we seemed to care about was saving our tents. Good thing there was not a tornado!
Ross and Matt came across many other cyclists looking for cold drinks and air conditioning on a very hot afternoon. We have meet people from all over the world who are doing the cross country bike route.
Flat roads = good spirits. We were very lucky and had a great deal of tail winds through much of Kansas. For all the people who told us that we are going the wrong way...look who was wrong!
Matt in the early hours of a Eastern Kansas ride. We stopped to take our jackets off and change the music on our iPods. Mornings were chilly, but that changed quickly as the days went on!
After a long day of cycling there is nothing better than a cold drink.
Ross at the Kansas state line. After four hilly states were ready for some flat land and leg recovery!

Hi Ross,
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying following your progress - great stuff!! I'm living vicariously thru you two - I pretend I'm Ross as I ride my own Surly LHT thru Roanoke. The only load I get to carry is my four-year-old.
Safe travels,
Chad Braby
