Wednesday. As we rode out of town at 6:30am this morning we were confronted with a spectacular rainbow and beautiful cloud formations( see pictures). Very rural ride with scenery a repeat of the last few days. a few more hills and some very large grain trucks hauling the just harvested winter wheat. The road was wide with a good shoulder so there were no issues. We rode highway 96 which is the same road we ride the rest of the way out of Kansas and continues into Colorado. The first community we hit on the route was Rush Center. This small town was renamed in honor of mr Limbaugh. The streets are all one way and only right turns are permitted. Right now we’re hanging out in ness city, Kansas at the town pool getting cleaned up before heading to the Baptist church. We ride 79 miles tomorrow into leoti, Kansas staying two nights in a motel and a welcome rest day.

  2. Um, only right hand turns are allowed? That just seems quite odd...

  5. Mr. Golden,

    Following your ride reminds me of long drives out to Phoenix. Kansas always moves slowly, but the Rockies are the highlight of the trip. I don't think I could make it on a bike.

    From all the boys here in the pro shop, we are missing you this weekend as we get ready for the member guest tournament. Lexie & Tyler had a good laugh at your fire starting friend. Great Pictures.

    Keep growing the beard!

    Sincerely,

    Pros, Lexie, & Tyler
