Hutchinson - Great Bend, Kansas
66 miles
5 hours and 32 minutes in the saddle
19.9 mph max speed
11.9 mph average speed
Last night 7.1" of rain fell in Hutchinson and the flooding was so severe it made the news on CNN! Our hotel was full as people had been forced to abandon their cars by the road and needed shelter for the night. Thankfully the storm cleared overnight, but not before a leak developed in our room.
Only one stretch of road had flooded that we had to cycle through, but we saw lots of flooded fields and small creeks that had been transformed into fast flowing rivers. As usual birdsong accompanied our ride through the vast, flat fields of Kansas. Today we heard thousands of joyous croaking frogs adding their voice to natures choir.
