Looking ahead

July 2
Happy Birthday Travis!

Tomorrow is our last full riding day in Kansas and I am, as always, excited to move into a new state.  Colorado is special however for two reasons:
1. I am looking for my first glimpse of the Rockies, which will be in Colorado.
2. The back of the map says the following: "The Prairie Horizon Trail is a 140 mile section of the Transam whose nearby residents have taken it upon themselves to provide " expanded highway shoulders, shelters and other amenities for the purpose of providing a friendly welcoming, safe and memorable experience for cyclists traveling through this charming prairie environment." Sounds good to me.
