Day 27: Hammer time!

170.1 miles. Averaged 16.7 mph. We knew it was going to be a good day at 8am when we had already biked 25 miles. The wind was at our backs for most of the morning and it was a little cool. By the afternoon it started to warm up again to nearly 100 degrees. We overcame adversity and rode all the way into Tribune, Ks. It felt great to hammer out some miles today. I'm sure we'll be feeling this one tomorrow. Shout out to Alex and Will who we met on the road today. They were traveling in the opposite direction as us and are biking across the country for Autism. Their blog is www.x-america4autism.blogspot.com. They came very prepared and had business cards made out with their blog address on it. We'll have to do that next time around. It was great talking with you guys! Good luck with the rest of your trip!

On and on for miles

Next state please

The end to a beautiful day

    hell yeah boys! I knew you guys were going to throw down as soon as you got out of the mountains. If you're seriously thinking about doing this again sometime maybe in a few years I'll have enough money to buy a bike and come along...

    If I could find some time in the future i'm in again for sure. If not, we could always do the RAAM (www.raceacrossamerica.org)
