This morning at
7AM we had a fantastic breakfast made by Janice. Although at this time in the
morning I am not a big eater, today I was a hungry though. Afterwards Norma and
I headed off to Eureka and my fifth map sections begins. The route today
zigzagged alternately west and north across the grid pattern of Kansas’ roads.

The terrain was rolling rather than flat, the hills still being substantial
enough to make me drop down a few gears to get up them. However, we were very
fortunate today, riding with a tale wind blowing SE, which gave us a boost on 90%
of today’s stage.

| Tyler & Codi |
Today we crossed three East bounders, Tyler and Codi from San
Francisco and a view mile behind Maurice from the UK. It is always a good
opportunity to share experiences as well as to stop for a couple of minutes
before taking on the ride again.
The last 19mi towards Eureka took us only 70
minutes – it was a blast and great coasting! So we reached Eureka in good time
to check in to a motel, shower, change, and head over to Pizza Hut for Chicken
Alfredo, since cyclists need food for fuel and eat enormous quantities…
