Hello from Ordway, Colorado. We've been truckin' across western Kansas and eastern Colorado. In the past three days, we traveled around 280 miles to get to this point. Yesterday was 130 miles, thanks to the sweet tailwind, especially in the morning.
The flatter land has been nice, but I'm beginning to look forward to climbing the Rockies and heading to some states I've never been to before. The Pacific Ocean still feels really far away, but there will be plenty of amazing things to come between now and then. There is so much to appreciate. I was dreading Kansas, because when I drove through it, I didn't like it much. However, biking through the plains and prairies of Kansas and Colorado, I've been able to see it from a different perspective, and it's been wonderful. I'll be getting my camera cord soon so I can try and share some pictures. I've been taking lots, and I think there will be a few good ones.
Kansas has had some of the highlights of the trip. We were able to visit with people diagnosed with MS. From young to old, male and female. Everywhere we go we are stopped and thanked for our efforts because MS effects so many lives. We are the ones that should be thanking them. Everyone has been so generous and have provided us with so much inspiration that it makes crossing the country on a bicycle easier. They give us such a boost in energy and morale.
Now we begin the West. Keep following, there is tons of good stuff yet to come.
Chris
