St Joseph, MO to Chillicothe, MO 87 miles Another day and all is good with the world again. It’s always been the same with me since I was a kid, go to bed and get a good nights sleep and see what its like in the morning. My mother instilled this mentality into me and…

I was lucky enough to get to Abilene, Kansas this week to catch up with Chris on his third rest day. It was good to see my fella. He looks good and feels good. Yes, he’s pretty tired but his spirits are good. There is no ‘give up’ in my Hubster, none! As I said…

Topeka, KS to St. Joseph, MO 84 miles Well this is the real test. The middle section, the rolling hills, the long miles. I knew when I was over analyzing this trip (as I do with everything) that this part was going to be the tough section for me. The first third of the journey…

Abilene, KS to Topeka, KS 105.6 miles So unfortunately this is another one of those, I have to make this quick posts. Today’s ride was long, hot and to be honest tiring. However I also have to say it was a beautiful day, scenic ride and quiet roads so all in all another good day…

Rest Day – Abilene, KS 0 miles Oh the joy of a day off. However with nowhere to cycle today I was at a bit of a loss first thing of what to do. Deirdre was up early for a call to the UK followed by doing my washing so I wandered around aimlessly with…

Dodge, KS to Great Bend, KS 84 miles Today was hard, really hard. I know if you look at the map, gradients or anything else you want to todays ride looked easy enough. What you can not see is a crosswind with some hurt that turned into a headwind of 20-30 mph for all of…

Liberal, KS to Dodge City, KS. 83.3 miles So today it was out of the hotel, ride US 54 E for 61 miles, turn left onto US 283 N for another 20 miles, turn left and the  hotel is about one mile on the right. The End. Photo of me – thanks Robin Well ok it was…

Guymon, OK to Liberal, KS 39.6 miles Today was almost perfect, tailwind, great road conditions and perfect weather. If I could change anything at all, it would be that I wished today was one of our 100 mile rides not a really short 39.6 miles. Last night we had a storm blow through Guymon which featured…
