Good News!

The first, and most important news for today's blog is in regards to our fellow rider, Andrew Martin. He's coming back!! He is currently securing a bike and helmet (from Greenville, NC) and buying a plane ticket to meet us in Colorado Springs on July 7! Can't wait to have you back, friend!

We really enjoyed the state of Oklahoma - the long, rolling hills, overcast skies, hospitality, and neverending land. It seemed as if we could ride forever and keep coming over hills to see more of the same. But it was beautiful! And we would have been wrong, because we left Oklahoma yesterday and entered Kansas. Much like we would have expected, we have seen a lot of flat land, hay fields and way less cows. There were a few interested things about today to keep us intrigued. First, some of us rode through Greensburg - the city where, only a few weeks ago, a tornado touched down and devastated the community. Not only was the tornado fierce and unyielding, but it leveled the town. The force of the storm required a number off the charts to describe it. Next, a few riders visited a town that has a sign designating it as the central point of the U.S. - equidistant from New York and Los Angeles. For the rest of us, who didn't take the opportunity to see those special places, we stopped and took pictures with hay bales. That's right. They're all over the country. But we stopped in Kansas to take pictures with them.

Well, the computer lab is closing NOW so i must cut this off.
We hope everyone is enjoying the summer and that we'll hear from you soon!

Pura vida!
