Day 43, Blue Rapids, Kansas

49.2 miles, 2340.5 miles total so far. 

Today we experienced the magnificence of the Chief Standing Bear Trail and Blue River Trail.  These are great examples of  what communities can accomplish and create for locals, and dor visitors like us.

Kansas!

There was beauty around every turn, and the riding surface was so nice. 

Today was also a three-flat-tire day. This was not so good for getting lots of miles covered, as might otherwise have been possible with the reasonable tail wind.  

We did make some surprise progress at the end of the day.  After starting to settle in at Marysville, Kansas we decided to pack up and move on to Blue Rapids upon receiving a friendly and inviting call-back from a gentleman with the city of Blue Rapids.

    Check off another state! Congrats. Not sure who got the flats but based on the prior posts, I was wondering what kind of tires bob has?

      I have Continental Contact Plus 700 35c tires. The 35 mm width is too narrow for some situations we have found ourselves in, but I am sticking with them because of their rugged rating.
