Today’s ride wasn’t too bad. We had a tail wind, and it was a bit shorter than expected. However, we did climb about 75 yards at 18% grade, and some pretty large hills. The idea that Kansas is flat is a complete myth. One of Stephen Sanger’s sponsors rode along today. He was probably the best ride along we’ve had so far.
We made a pit stop in Lawrence Kansas, and stopped by the KU Pi Kapp house. It was a lot of fun. When we got back in the bike, we pushed it to get to Olathe in time. We did a huge arrival at the Mahaffie Stagecoach farm and stop. My mom, Gina, and Ashley were there, so it was really great. The city of Olathe really rolled out the red carpet for us, and treated us great. We had lunch at arrival and then rode to lodging about a mile away.
We are staying ath the Kansas School for the Deaf for the next two nights. It’s awesome. We have our own beds, and two people to a shower. It’s as nice or nicer than a hotel room. For dinner we went to the Wulf’s house. They treated the team to a steak dinner. Tomorrow we have a few different friendship visits, and I already know Olathe will be one of the best stops of the trip.
